Xable Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Ok, i have several folders, each has between 30 and 250 files in them. I need to rar up each individual file.I have been right clicking, selecting "add to archive" and pressing ok on each file, but this is taking forever.Is there a way to automate this?, with a bach file or somthing. If not, i might just spend the rest of my life right click, click, click, right click, cli..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dman Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 put "rar.exe" (under program files\winrar) in path, then you can use from command line. type rar /? for options. put in a batch with "for" loop to rar each file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 something like "for 'dirs' on 'path' do 'rar.exe blah blah blah'" of course with the propper terms lolrar has a simple and full featured commandline that you can use but i think you'll expend almost the same time writting the batch file than rightcliking and selecting "add to>foldername.rar"...

Xable Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 So it looks like it will take just as long to wright a batch than to do it manualy. I usualy disable all context menus accept "add to archive" Thanx for reminded me of "add to>foldername.rar" SiMoNsAyS, should speed things up a bit.

tarquel Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 ...then again...with the script, at least it will save you time in the future if you need to save time again..for example...I've spent hours and hours making a script to automate updating of a "CD toolkit" that I make regularly.If i was to do it manually each time, it would take me 2-ish hrs but now, with very little to do manually, it runs and completes in under 5 mins.Creates a handy log too - blah blah - all the usual stuff just need to work out timestamping better tho for every action.my 2 cents lolRegards,N.

LiquidSage Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 have you tried just creating a new profile in options....selecting under the 'files' tab ->Put each file in seperate archiveand the setting it as the default profile?you should be able to select x amount of files at once , r.click ->add to archive, and have each in it's own archive i would think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
