i'm using this command to unrar folders:

for file in *.part01.rar; do unrar x ${file}; done;

but i don't know where to add the password in this command. because right now, this command wants the password for every archive in that folder.

thanks

From man unrar:

-p<password>
  Set password.

So your line would be something like:

for file in *.part01.rar; do unrar x -p<password> ${file}; done;

    Can also use quotations, -p"<password>"

I only unrar the first part (when there are part01.rar, part02.rar, etc.) and it goes itself for the rest of the files.

unrar x An_Awesome_Movie.part01.rar -ppassword

    sure it is -ppassword not -p password ? also perhaps clarify which rar you use, there are two in the reposittories.

  • Sure, -pYOUPASS, so you don't have to type it on a prompt later. I've found two, unrar-free and unrar. I use unrar. If I type just unrar appears a menu that says: "UNRAR 5.30 beta 2 freeware".

  1. Enter to the directory containing the rar file, run below cmd:

    unrar x -p /path/to/filename.rar

  2. After that, enter password into the pompt
