can i extract iso using winrar commandline? 1

[cossma]

I'm trying to write a script to extract the contents of an ISO using winrar
However I get an error message "not an rar archive" I know you can extract an ISO through the GUI but when i use the command 'unrar e (ISO- path) ' I get that error

Thanks

Why not try 7zip, not only does it extract everything I've ever tried, including .rar,.iso.cab, but it also has very good CLI support.

Never had much luck with winrar, and besides, 7zip is free.

I saw this example in the linked post, it means nothing to me but maybe you can look at it.


Code:
@echo off
@CLS
set startdir=F:\RAR
set isodir=F:\ISOs
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
@ECHO UNRARer v 0.1
@ECHO (c)2009 Supagusti
@ECHO starting in directory: %startdir%
FOR /F "delims=;" %%G IN ('"dir "%startdir%\*.RAR" /S /B"') DO unrar e "%%G" *.ISO %isodir%
@ECHO finished!

instead of using UNRAR use WINRAR itself...

e.g.

WinRAR x (/path/to/iso) (/path/to/destination/folder)
