batch file to extract each iso to the folder where the archive is loca

[hevnbnd]

===== Post Nº 1 ======

I need to recurse into subfolders with winrar so I use the -r switch... winrar x -r *.iso. Now when I launch this command from c: and it finds the file abc.iso in c:folder1, it extracts the file to c: instead of c:folder1. The names of the subfolders will be unknown so I can't specify them. I have been using this script

@echo OFF

REM Extract the content of all .iso files in the current directory

for %%f in (*.iso) do winrar x "%%f"

DEL *.iso

RMDIR AUDIO_TS

REM Perform the same in all sub-directories

for /D %%d in (*) do cd %%d && call %0 && cd ..

This works but I was wondering if there was a way to do it using just winrar commands? I pieced this script together from different places and honestly don't know what half the stuff means. like %%F or the whole line for /D %%d in (*) do cd %%d && call %0 && cd ..

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Don't launch the command from the "c:\"; winrar is assuming that is the location to extract to. cause a "cd" (change directory) to the directory you want it extracted to.

the batch command you are using are, in essence,

- extracting the files one-by-one from the root of the iso

- following the path of each folder (level-by-level) extracting as per the previous

%0 is the directory wher the batch file is being executed. %%f and %%d are variables (f=file, d=directory respectively). "cd.." changes to the next higher directory level.

Just try as I suggested. HTH

I know all about batch commands, however you asked for WinRAR commands instead!

I you want a batch solution to your problem, I will be able to offer you assistance, however I'm not downloading software or their manuals in order to find out the application specific information you require.
