WinRAR Parameter to Extract (all) Here?

[salam2009]

Hey guys,
I use this parameter: x %P%N "%P" with a custom hotkey to extract compressed files to the source folder via WinRAR in Total Commander.
The problem is that this parameter extracts only one compressed file at a time!
Any thoughts to change the parameter which would make it extract multiple files at once to the directory's root?
Your help is absolutely appreciated
Thank you!
Cheers,
Salaam

unrar does not allows to unrar multiple files (unless it is multipart) at once.

If you use internal unrar if you select multiple rar file, you can unrar all in place if you set "." as target.
If you want, you can also use TCBL to process all files:

Code: Select all

program:<path to>\tcbl.exe
parameter: %L "<path to>\unrar" x $f "%P"

you can also use temporary batch file or powershell script ....

No, it does actually!
I can easily extract all different rar files with a single right click=>Extract Here (the standard way).
But with my parameter, WinRAR can only extract one file while multiple ones are selected then pressed with the hotkey!

Make .bat file?

... for example:

--------------------------

"%commander_path%\Apps\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe" e "%commander_path%\foo\somefile.rar" "%commander_path%\foo\" -o+
"%commander_path%\Apps\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe" e "C:\Program Files\foo1\somerarfile1.rar" "C:\Program Files\foo1\" -o+
"%commander_path%\Apps\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe" e "D:\folder\somerarfile2.rar" "D:\folder\" -o+
...

Thanks for the idea but I need a specific change in my parameter to directly extract files using a hotkey!

Read winrar documentation for command line and find by yourself the parameter or ask to rarlab support !
If you come to the same conclusion as us read our proposition.

I don't understand you.

In TC already exists "cm_UnpackFiles" command with "Alt+F6" hotkey.
You only need to delete path from TC dialog box (path to target directory) to unpack all files, from all selected archives to source folder.

----------------------------------------------------

Or you want to do that with WinRAR?

Then ...

Command: %Commander_path%\Apps\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe e *.rar *.*
Parameter: %P%N

So ...

You can add something like this in usercmd.ini

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[em_UnpackToFolder]
cmd=%Commander_path%\Apps\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe e *.rar *.*
param=%P%N
menu=Unpack to Folder
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

... and assign any hotkey you want to em_UnpackToFolder command.

I prefer WinRAR extraction over internal TC & batch methods.

@mrle
Your parameter worked like a charm!
How about the codes for extracting multiple files in "subfolders" with their names in the source directory?
Thanks a lot buddy

^

WinRAR.exe e -ad *.rar *.*

You have everything in WinRAR Help (WinRAR.chm), as @nsp said.

That one also did the trick.
I checked WinRAR Help before I came here, but honestly I couldn't get them to work!
Now, extracting files would be much easier for me thanks to you!
Have a wonderful day
