[warehouse peon]

Hi,
I have a large files split into 4 parts ,and I just want to know what i can use to unpack it all. I'm using Linux (Ubuntu). Is there a command to use to unpack rar files? i just use a program to extract them but i was wondering if there a command on unpacking them

Any help would be appreciated

Possibly you'd have to install Rar for Linux: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm. However. it does state that it is a trial version so may have some limitations. This may only be that a warning says you must buy or remove after 40 days like the Windows version.

install "unrar" (most distros have a package for it) and then do "unrar x whatever.rar

Under Linux and UNIX, use command called unrar. By default unrar is not being installed on Linux, FreeBSD or UNIX oses. You can install unrar command with the help of apt-get or yum command.
