Sorry I don't understand what you are asking.

Are you saying you want to compress a.avi & xyz.txt and end up with a.rar?

Are you trying using a batch program or command line or through the winrar GUI?
 
you can use rar.exe (in the winrar installation folder) by using the following attributes :

  z[file]       Read archive comment from file

or use something like

Start "C:\Program Files\WinRar\RAR.EXE" a -df -r "E:\MEDIA.RAR" "C:\MEDIA"
 
Ok I am assuming this on a windows machine so create a batch file rar.cmd with this content
Code: 
@Echo Off
CLS
FOR /R %%i in (*.*) do ( 
@echo %%i
"c:\program files\winrar\rar" a "%%~ni" "%%~nxi" [COLOR=#3E3E3E][FONT=Verdana] c:\[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#3E3E3E][FONT=Verdana]xyz.url  c:\xyz.txt[/FONT][/COLOR] > NUL)

Run cmd. Then change folder to the folder with the files to archive then type the batch file name c:\rar.cmd or where you placed the batch.
I suggest keeping the batch and the info/txt/url files to be included in the same folder. You must know where the rar.exe is located and make the change in the above line.
 
is there a easier way? :)

that every time i want to rar a file, right click a file add to archive. then it also automatically adds the file i want to be added automatically for example my website url.
 
What are you talking about. It reads the folder for the files then adds the 2 extra files kikikaka wanted.

You can change the name and location of the 2 extra files to the single file you are adding.

Just change these c:\xyz.url c:\xyz.txt to your file name like c:\yourwebsite.url and it will be added automatically.
 
The syntax for this in Linux is:

Add all files in a directory to a single rar file with the name DesiredArchiveName.rar:
for file in ./*; do rar a DesiredArchiveName.rar $file; done;​


Add all files in a directory to a single rar file with the name DesiredArchiveName.rar & split into 1GB parts:
for file in ./*; do rar a DesiredArchiveName.rar $file -v1024M; done;​


Create individual rar files of all files in directory:
for file in ./*; do rar a $file.rar $file; done;​
 
Code: 
@Echo Off
CLS
FOR /R %%i in (*.*) do ( 
@echo %%i
"c:\program files\winrar\rar" a "%%~ni" "%%~nxi" [COLOR=#3E3E3E][FONT=Verdana] c:\[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#3E3E3E][FONT=Verdana]xyz.url  c:\xyz.txt[/FONT][/COLOR] > NUL)

can you edit these codes to have these:
-compression method to "store"
-split to volumes to "1024mb"
-put each files to separate archive
-load a comment from a .txt

thanks!
 
try this
Code: 
@Echo Off
CLS
FOR /R %%i in (*.*) do ( 
@echo %%i
"c:\program files\winrar\rar" a -m0 -v1024m "%%~ni" "%%~nxi" [COLOR=#3E3E3E][FONT=Verdana]c:\xyz.txt[/FONT][/COLOR] > NUL)
 
@Lock Down it is working in my desktop. but when i use it in my RDP these always gets deleted: c:\xyz.url c:\xyz.txt
and it also does not make the file as .rar . for example i tried it in 123.mp4 it ended up as "123" not as rar.

thanks!
 
That means you have an old file somewhere that it is running.

Create a new cmd file called batchrar.cmd with the last code I gave you and the try it.

Also be sure that the rar.exe is in c:\program files\winrar folder

If you can't get it to work pm me the rdp login and I will check it.
 
fixed: it does not delete these anymore: c:\xyz.url c:\xyz.txt

but still it cannot make the file extension to .rar .. all files that have been archive does not have file extension

thanks!
 
yes exactly. files that have .url are okay but those files with avi,mkv and mp4 extensions when rar'd have problems. they dont have .rar extension.

thanks!
 
Sorry I have done all types and don't have that problem. make sure you downloaded the latest version of rar and that you do not have disk space or volume hard drive problems.

I would like to see it run as I know it is not the script.

Change this @Echo Off to @Echo On and remove this > NUL


Then test it again in a cmd window and look for the errors..
