Unrar problem in UBUNTU

[Joyjeet]

Hi, I have one folder which is containing whole files as rar type and some them I want to extract at same time and in the same folder. When I extract any file that time it creates another folder and then it extract it in that folder. I simply want to extract all of them at same time and in same directory. So can you solve my unrar problem? Can anyone have solution? Please give me solution.

Hi, I have got your unrar problem in Ubuntu. I am not able to trace why you are getting this problem and not have solution to unrar all in same directory. But, I can provide you a command which will help you to take all those directories moved into the parent directory. Just use following command, I think this will work for you.

mv *_FILES/* .

Use the above code as it is.
I think this code will solve your problem.

Hi, I am not having any knowledge about UBUNTU, but I have knowledge of windows xp. I don't think that it will be different in UBUNTU. When you right click on the rar file you will able to get the options such as Extract Files..., Extract Here...., Extract to <folder name>..... So, just try to use the option of extract here.. I don't think that this will give you any directory. It will directly extract that particular rar file to the current working directory.

Just try to open the directroy from which you want to extract the files. And then run following commnds. I think this will work for you.

unrar e *.rar

unrar e *.zip
