[Ubuntu-BD] How to unrar and combine multiple RAR files on Ubuntu

[Tareq Siraj]

Umm... if youre talking about multi-part rar archives, unrar picks up the rest of the chain of parts if you only give it the first one (at least for my unrar 3.71b does it). find will actully execute unrar for every part the archive has (if it has 10 parts, it will extract the whole thing 10 times) :) ... or I am missing the bigger picture here. 

A little correction to my previous response ... i forgot the "x" command for unrar... so it should be:
unrar x abcd.part1.rar

Yah, it would be simpler if you had only ONE rar file. There is a way to divide a single file into few smaller rar files. Hafiz asked question about those files. I believe you have seen those if you have downloaded big files (eg: movies) from sites like megaupload or rapidshare.

wouldn't "unrar abcd-part1.rar" be simpler? or any specific reason
he should use find? just curious :).

Try this: 
find -type f -name '*.rar' -exec unrar x {} \;

Hello all,

Those of us who download movies or TV series are familiar with the
situation that there are multiple RAR files for a movie or TV series
episode or a game like:

abcd-part1.rar
abcd-part2.rar
abcd-part3.rar

Now, in windows, using winRAR, nothing else is needed to be done to
uncompress and combine the files except for choosing any one file and
give the command 'Extract Here...'. What should I use on Ubuntu /
Linux Mint for this?
