Hey There, When attempting to extract "rar" files in either Linux or Unix, the file naming protocol seems to be a very crucial issue. To wit, should a file be fraught with open spaces, many Unix and Linux utilities will not work, because it seems that MS-Windows allows for blank spaces within file names, whereas Dos, Linux and Unix do not. This would seem to be the case from my personal point of view based upon recent experience. I am attempting to extract a large number of rar files using "unrar-free" with no success. I understand that it might be necessary to rename each and every file and put some sort of filler in each blank space, such as a question mark or some other type of punctuation. I am not sure if this is the case or not. Ultimately this whole matter is nothing more than a product of the ever-present conflict/ difference between MS_Windows and other systems that lead to all manner of compatibility issues. Linux, DOS and Unix users are for ever trying to find work-around solutions to these compatibility problems. So, how would you Linux users go about processing "rar" files that were produced in Windows using Linux software? Would you try to do some sort of "unrar" or would you try to convert them over to some version of zip format? If so, would you try some variant of gzip? cheerio, Riv Feel free to visit my website and my blog and learn more about me and what I stand for.
