Unrar Failing Because Of Space

rated 0 times [ 2] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 3564 / 1 Year ago, mon, november 28, 2022, 1:55:44

I'm trying to unrar a file (i have unrar-free package) .
But it's failed, i think because of files name. File's (which in rar archive) name containing spaces and i can't rename it.

How can i unrar this file?

Note : spaces isn't in archives name, it's in archived file's name. For example : this file should be unrared.flv file in test.rar

eray@eray-ubuntu:~/İndirilenler$ unrar terranovas01e06.rar

Unrar-free seems to have a problem with these files. It creates a directory instead of a file when you try to extract the archive.

$ unrar-free --list test.rar



unrar 0.0.1  Copyright (C) 2004  Ben Asselstine, Jeroen Dekkers





RAR archive /home/.../test.rar



Pathname/Comment

                  Size   Packed Ratio  Date   Time     Attr      CRC   Meth Ver

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 this file should be unrared.flv

                     0        8   0% 10-11-11 18:09   .D....   00000000 m3? 2.9

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now:

$ unrar-free --extract test.rar 



unrar 0.0.1  Copyright (C) 2004  Ben Asselstine, Jeroen Dekkers





Extracting from /home/.../test.rar



All OK

Finally:

$ ls -l

total 4

-rw-rw-r-- 1 ...... ...... 100 2011-11-10 18:12 test.rar

drwxrwxr-x 2 ...... ......   6 2011-11-10 18:27 this file should be unrared.flv

Please note the d at the first column of the filename.

To extract the file correctly you can use the unrar package instead of unrar-free.

$ unrar x test.rar
