Joining rars and unpackig it
Hello,
Is there any way to join splited .rar files into one and unpack it with free software? I tried to join it by "cat file*.rar > one.rar" and upack it with TheUnarchiver, but it didn't worked for me. Any ideas?
Thanks

Just install unarchiver and then use the following command:
$unar file.rar

If unar presents the error "Input data buffers border exceeded" you can try
$ unar ./part1.rar
But I don't have one file, but many, for example:
file.part1.rar
file.part2.rar
file.part3.rar
I used "unar file.part1.rar" but it only unpacked first part. I read man page of theunarchiver but there was not information about unpacking spliting files. When I join everything in one file (cat file*.rar > one.rar), the result was the same: it only unpacked first part.
I can confirm this issue. I had files like:
file.rar
file.r01
file.r02
file.r03
...
The files were compressed with RARv3 so unrar-free (or the GUI) could not extract it at all.
With theunarchiver I could extract only "file.rar" and get a small part of the file. None of the other files would give me anything.
I tried cat'ing, extracting them all with *, extracting them separately but with no luck.
IIRC, I managed to extract the files on a Debian box with unrar (non-free).
Here is a possibly related (but somewhat old) issue on TheUnarchiver's issue list: http://code.google.com/p/theunarchiver/issues/detail?id=238

I would like to confirm that Ark 2.16 in Dagda has the ability to do it: extract from a multi-part RAR archive. Thanks!
Thanks! Ark solved problem.
