    How to Unrar/unzip multiple archives at once containing a single file?

    Okay I downloaded a bunch of .rar files that all contain a piece of one big file. I am on Debian right now, and I can't open all of them at once, not can I open one at a time. I can't extract anything, so how do I combine all of them together so I can extract the file that all of the files have a part of?

    can you post all of the files there usually is another file (not sure exactly what it is) that doesn't have the rar exentension which you use the command on to unrar all the files. I haven't used rar in a while but I think if u post we can help.
    All right, brain. You don't like me and I don't like you, but let's just do this and I can get back to killing you with beer. All New Users Read This!!! If you have a grub problem please look at GRUB MANUAL

    They should usually be names .r01 , .r01......until the last file which is .rar

    Generally the last file is opened and it contains the metadata for the entire archive. This is the same for zip files. Maybe try to copy the files, and rename them to .r01 etc in sequence? I have not seen files named like this before.

    Okay so how should I rename each one? Change the extension to .r01, .r02, etc. until .r15? What about the first oc file?

    I did this and it still didn't work

    Maybe I'm renaming incorrectly?

    It also says it's a non-standard extension (the .r01, etc.)

    It's actually the last file that you leave as .rar
    Are the sc1 ,sc2 etc maybe different parts? Is there a group of groups if you get me?

    Yes group of groups I understand...but I don't think they are. I think it's just one big file.

    Making the last one .rar didn't work
