question about extracting with winrar....

[bhome83]

hey guys,

So i use this program all the time, but i have a bunch of folders with individual .rar files (.r00, .r01, etc) Is there a way to extract all of those files to the same folder the files are found in all at once? I know i can do it individually if i point to the folder i want it extracted to, but this would be tedious to do for quite a few folders (over 100).

also, is there a way to have winrar automatically delete the individual files as it is extracting the files? I ask because the folders probably total over 50gb and i only have about 25gb free disk space so if i were to extract all at the same time i would run out of space..unless there was a way to delete the individual files as im extracting.

Thanks for the help!

If I've got this right you want to extract and then re compress and archive the files without going through them one at a time, or at least you want to automate the process instead of doing it manually ?
This is how it's done : http://www.win-rar.com/index.php?id=..._article_id=94

What I'm not sure about is how to do that without hitting your HD limitation, yep you need to go shopping, but maybe someone else will.
