Hillside Reviewed by Hillside on 17th Mar 2011. Linux RAR How to split multiple files with rar in a centos 32 bit server? For a single file it would be - rar a -v100m archivename filename.ext But what if I needed multiple files to be split? p.s. rapidleech won't help in a 32bit server. Rating: 5

I guess he needs to archive multiple files in different archives, splitted.

If thats the case, then you need a FOR loop to run the same command on multiple files. Lets say you have all the files in a directory, the FOR loop would look like this

for f in $(ls /path/to/your/files)
 do
   rarname=${f%.*}
   rar a -v100m rarname f
  done

This way, your archives will also have the same name as the file you are raring.

Well that was what I said myself...

But I need to do it for multiple files together. Assume I have a movie in a folder(directory) containing-

movie.avi(size 700mb) + subtitle(size 100kb) + nfo(size 150kb)

How to split them in 100mb parts?

EDIT: To clear it more, I can do it by moving them inside a folder & rar the folder itself. But that's not what I want.
