| BTW once you have the unrar package installed you can use a gui archiver like ark or guitar to open .rar files. |

but it's not free, so you either buy it or you use the trial-version. |

This question goes along the same lines, so I will post it here.
After upgrading kde to version 3.5.0, I lost the ability to right-click a .rar file and choose an extract option. All the other compression formats have that except .rar. I need to choose open with ark then extract, that's a pain compared to just saying extract here or extract to a directory that is the same name as the file, and stuff like that. Any ideas?
Thanks

I'm trying to unrar a pile of N64 Roms and I get an error on one of the files halfway through....
| Code: | Extracting Paper Mario (U).v64 56%
Write error in the file Paper Mario (U).v64 [R]etry, [A]bort A
Write error in the file Paper Mario (U).v64
Program aborted
|
So then I try to exclude this file when doing the unrar but I can't figure it out. Can someone give me the line of code I need? This is what I have so far...
| Code: | | dan@tux ~/Desktop/N64 $ unrar e -o- -x<Paper Mario \(U\).v64> N64RomsandEmulator.rar |
First it complained about the ( and ) so I fixed that but now I don't know what to put in place of the spaces in the filename. It doesn't like %20 so I'm at a loss. Thanks.

Wrap the filename, unaltered, in single quotes. |
