[SOLVED] Help with unpacking and concatenating multiple zip files

SChipS · 02-02-2010, 01:50 PM

Linux friends,

Any help unpacking and putting together files as below would be deeply appreciated:

reception_vol_1.z01
reception_vol_1.z02
reception_vol_1.z03
reception_vol_1.z04
reception_vol_1.z05
reception_vol_1.z06
reception_vol_1.z07
reception_vol_1.zip

This is supposed to be a video, but I have no idea how to unpack these things and put them all together. I've tried extracting the .zip file but I get a null error with Nautilus. 1 thru 7 are 50 MB and the .zip file is 39.7 MB.

Thank you,

Ubuntu 8.10

Code:

zip -s 0 reception_vol_1.zip --out rec_vol_1.zip
unzip rec_vol_1.zip

See this about half way down. Some Mac user sent you those?

jefro,

Thanks, you're probably correct in that it came from a MAC user. I'm at the end of the family line, so it's 3rd hand by now. Since I'm using Ubuntu Linux I don't know of an equivalent program for machacha.

ozanbaba,

Thank you for your reply also, but I received an immediate error stating there is no s option for zip.

It works !

that was a smart solution

unzip says it can't extract multi part zips, and adds use zip -s 0 zip.zip -out zip2.zip to join them, after than just any unzipping would work
