Extract rar files

I am new to Mac World and need help with "how to extract RAR files?" From what I can see, many people recommended UnRARX. However, I can not get it to work on my MacBook Pro. Any recommendation on a different program?

I use MacPAR deLuxe for handling RAR/PAR files. Latest version is Lion friendly

How to extract RAR File

Hi
i downloaded EP Sneak priview from SDN in the form of RAR files.when i try to extract using winzip it is giving error.is there any other way
Prasad

Yes, you need to get WinRar. Its just like WinZip. I believe that .zip and .rar are just different compression technologies. Here is a link to get WinRar.

How can I extract .rar files that are dependent on the next in order to finish the extraction?

Ex: Part 1 finishes, then asks for part 2, so on so forth!
Trying to open something a colleague sent me, but is rather large. I have 5 .rar files. I cannot extract them seperatly or it errors/fails. Yet I cannot find a program that asks or searches for the next files in the extraction process. Tips? Programs that do? I know that WinRAR has what I need but they do not make a program for Mac, that I can get to work.
P.s. please keep in mind i'm new to macs, my first one! and i really know nothing mac-specific, howver i know a fair bit about computers.

It gave me the error when I ran the program, if I need to post a screenie I will. Also if unRarx does work, am I using it wrong? I've got all 5 .rar files together in one folder. Start unrarx, click browse, navigate to the first rar, click extract, then this error at the end:
INSTRUCTIONS] + [SN] [CodeTempest]/********.dmg - CRC failed
Total errors: 1
******** = name of program, kept private sorry.
Thanks again.

Problem extracting RAR files in Leopard

I have been unable to extract any RAR files on my computer since installing Leopard. I have tried using a variety of software including Stuffit, UnRarX, and TheUnarchiver but every time I get the message that there's been a format error. This is extremely frustrating and if anyone can recommend an application or method that works, it would be greatly appreciated.

UnRarX and MacPAR deLuxe

both work fine here with Leopard. Maybe the RAR files are bad or something is wrong with your Leopard installation.

Plug-in issues concerning an extracted rar file

I downloaded a .rar file (documentary) and extracted it with iArchiver. After it was extracted, it was in .avi format and QuickTime could not properly open and play the file with out a component/plug-in. Apple directed me to an Xvid.org website to download what was supposedly needed. The Xvid.org website said it only had downloads for Windows and Linux. I saw on their FAQ page that they currently do not maintain the component for Macs (odd Apple sent me to this?). Anyway, what I am wanting to do is first play this file and later place it on a DVD. Any help is greatly appreciated. This is my first Mac and I am a novice with video and QuickTime, but I am learning. Thanks in advance!

Try the Perian component for Quicktime...free.

How can I extract .rar files?

I have UnRARX but that doesnt work on the ones I need extracted. I had to use a windows computer to extract the files, but what program for mac will get the job done?

Stuffit Deluxe was the archive program of choice since System 7 until about MacOS 10.3 - it's not free and not as important as it once was.
The free Stuffit Expander still does great work for many types of archives. Stuffit Expander 13.0.3 -

You can put an alias of the program on your desktop or the Dock. Drag your file onto it and let it go...
Their description:
Easily expand and decode all the files you download from the Web or receive in your e-mail. Access StuffIt files, uncompress Zip archives created by WinZip and other zip utilities, decompress tar, gzip and bzip archives, and more. Just drag, drop, and you're done. From BinHex to Zip, StuffIt to MIME, Expander accesses more formats, in less time, with zero hassles.

Extracting .rar files is slow, too slow

I've noticed the same problem. Pacman grinds system (firefox) to a halt too.
iirc, I dont think rar'ing was always this slow. Guess it might have something to do with sata, ncq and schedulers.

When I extract .rar files they always come out in .exe

okay, here i downloaded tons of things like audio files from safari and i got it in form of .rar, its fine though 'cause I got rar-extracting app "unrarX".#
Anyway, the thing is whenever I extract, I always got them in .exe which is bad 'cause I don't know what I can do with this format.
btw, I don't really think the problem lies in the app I mentioned.

Hi elletequila,
Have you try to rename the extension into audio such as MP3?

Question about RAR files...

Can the OS extract RAR files on it's own? I can't, I need to use whatever program is available. A friend of mine says his OSX 10.4 does. I can't find that would do it in the OS. My .zip files are associated with BOMArchiveHelper. Would I have to associate RARs with this, and if so, how would I do that?
Thanks a million.

Does leopard support rar file

Does leopard support rar file? or I need to download third party software to extract rar file.

Archive Assistant should extract the contents of a .rar archive; however, if there are multiple segments it will not join them back together.

PI 7.3 - Read .RAR Files

Hi there,
I'm newbie at SAP PI, I've never seen it before and I'm in a project where the company hired a PI consultant to make it work for SAP GRC x NF-e (Brazilian fiscal notes). This consultant is showing me what he did here and... I'll need to learn it because I'm going to be the responsible about PI when he finish it...
We have SAP GRC 10 and SAP PI 7.3.
One of requirements from this project is receive a e-mail from other companies, with xml files attached. This xml file sometimes can be within ZIP file, or RAR file... That's the problem: RAR Files.
The consultant did a ABAP Proxy who gets every kind of attachment and extract if it's a ZIP File, using CL_ABAP_ZIP, standard class.
What can we do to make it work to different kinds of files? (.rar, .7zip, etc). I have no idea, but... is it possible to do any Java Mapping, or something like that?
Thanks!

PI 7.3 has capable of processing larger size files.
Questions:
Have you picked EOIO quality of service? Hope you dont do mapping or content conversion for this file?
have you seen this link

How to Open a rar file with downloaded software

I was bothering this forum yesterday trying to find some way to get a file opened that I had downloaded. Today I discovered that my problem was that "rar" files need their own software to enable them to be opened....So I downloaded the software UnRarX...and it is now sitting on the bottom of my desktop...but I can not get the software into the Applications folder, and so I can not figure out how to use this little package of software to open my "rar" files...
What do I have to do to open my files with this new software???
Thanks..
Miguel

HI,
The UnRarX application should be accessible from your Dock after installing the software. The application icon looks like this:
"How to extract a rar archive?"
1. Launch UnRarX.
2. Drag rar archive into the UnRarX window.
3. Extraction begins automatically.

Batch file extracting all files from nested archives

I have managed to leverage a powerful
forfiles command line utility with the mighty
7z compression program.
Below is a simple batch file extracting all files from nested archives hidden at any depth inside other archives and/or folders. After the extraction each archive file turns into a folder having the archive file name. If, for example, there was an "outer.rar"
archive file containing nothing but an "inner.zip" archive with only "afile.txt" inside, "outer.rar" becomes "...\outer.rar\inner.zip\afile.txt" file system path.
@echo off
rem extract_nested_archives.bat
move %1 "%TMP%"\%2
md %2
7z x -o%1 -y %TMP%\%2
del "%TMP%"\%2
for %%a in (zip rar jar z bz2 gz gzip tgz tar lha iso wim cab rpm deb) do forfiles /P %1 /S /M *.%%a /C "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE extract_nested_archives.bat @path @file"
ARCHIVES ARE DELETED DURING THE EXTRACTION! Make a copy before running the script!
"7z.exe" and "extract_nested_archives.bat" should be in folders available via the %PATH% environment variable.
The first parameter of extract_nested_archives.bat is the full path name of the archive or folder that should be fully expanded; the second parameter is just the archive or folder name without the path. So you should run "c:\temp\extract_nested_archives.bat
c:\temp\outer.rar outer.rar" from the command line to completely expand "outer.rar". "c:\temp" must be the current folder.
Best regards, 0x000000AF

Incredibly useful! Thank you so much. I did make a couple of small changes to make the script a little easier to use from the end-user perspective.
First - I don't like making the user input the redundant second parameter, so I added this snippet which extracts it from the first parameter. The first line of the snippet enables delayed expansion so that special characters in our file name don't
break anything. The second line pulls the parameter into a variable, and the 3rd line uses delayed expansion on that new variable. Before implementing delayed expansion I had problems with file paths which included parentheses.
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set SOURCE=%1
For %%Z in (!source!) do (
set FILENAME=%%~nxZ
set FILENAME=%FILENAME:"=%
Anyway once that was done, I just used %FILENAME% everywhere in the script instead of
%2 (making sure to correct quotes as needed)
This way, to run my script all you need to run is:
C:\temp\extract_nested_archives.bat C:\temp\Archive.zip
Second - I didn't want to modify the Windows environment variable. So I replaced
7z with "%PROGRAMFILES%\7-zip\7z.exe"
I also replaced extract_nested_archives.bat with "%~f0" (which represents the full path+filename of the current script).
Here is my full script now. Tested on Windows 8 with the 64-bit version of 7-zip installed:
@echo off
Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set source=%1
For %%Z in (!source!) do (
set FILENAME=%%~nxZ
set FILENAME=%FILENAME:"=%
move /Y %1 "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
md "%FILENAME%"
"%PROGRAMFILES%\7-zip\7z.exe" x -o%1 -y "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
DEL "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
for %%a in (zip rar jar z bz2 gz gzip tgz tar lha iso wim cab rpm deb) do (
forfiles /P %1 /S /M *.%%a /C "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE "%~f0" @path @file"
