Extracting rar files having the same password

  • 772

I use unrar to extract rar files on Ubuntu 18.04.
How can I extract 100 files that have the same password without giving the password 100 times.
I hope I can do it on Nautilus, also terminal is fine.

batch rar unzip

  1. I don't think that you can do that in nautilus. In a terminal you can do it with

    unrar x -ppassword <files...>

    if you want to use the included path names. Type man unrar to see other options.

  2. In my case, the same password is for multiple split parts, so what I need is:

    unrar x -p<your_password> <1st_rar_filepath> ./<output_main_directory>/

    Note:

    1. You only need to provide the first .rar filepath, then it will extract the rest of the rar files automatically.
    2. Ensure output directory name trailing with /.

  3. ... And use 

    ls myfile*.rar | xargs -n1 rar x -ppassword

    to unpack all (100) files
