File Joining

[Super Mario]

There is a unrar pos but no file join pos.

Can this be implanted?
So when i download 001, 002 etc etc alt.binz can you them automaticly?

[graymatter]

I would also like to see this feature added.

[Pedro]

I second (eh, third) that.
Now I still have to run quickpar to join my Daily show mpegs.

[kacey]

yep. Is a drag. I use HJSplit file by file. Must be a macro somewhere to do all the .001 files in a folder. That would be enough. If i find or write one I will post it here

[graymatter]

If you want to combine all files in a folder at once I would suggest http://www.freebyte.com/download/hj-join.zip, just copy the program into the folder containing the files and double-click.

bump for autojoin 001 split files

Same here - but onlt after par2-checking checks the collection as error-free.

[wolver1ne]

I believe this should be possible with par2.exe. Just a matter of implementing it.

And yes, this feature would be great.

I haven't tried this myself, as I've managed to get by without ever needing to join files, but as far as I understand it, when joining HJSplit just does the equivalent of this:

copy /b “movie.avi.001” “movie.avi”
copy /b “movie.avi” + “movie.avi.002”
copy /b “movie.avi” + “movie.avi.003"

... etc.

In which case, it should be easy enough for someone to write a batch file to run with the new Execute Command feature of 0.26.1:

From time to time, I come across newsposts which have par2 sets, but are just regular un-archived files which have been split using QuickPar. When altbinz downloads them, it just checks the par2 set's integrity and (since I have chosen that option), deletes the small .par file. Then I have to either (re)download the small .par or any of the other .par2's to open the set in QuickPar and rejoin the files, or I use HJ-split to merge the files.

Could you add the option to make par.exe rejoin the file or invoke some command-line utility to do so?

[cr4zyfr4g]

you can make your own batch file

with copy /b

if you need help pm me tomorrow and i'll help you create it

[franzdoe]

I usually use Total Commander to manually rejoin the files, but it would be nice if AltBinz were to do it automatically, just like it does with archives.

[cr4zyfr4g]

here is a small batch i made for you: http://www.file-upload.net/download-848530/join.bat.html

Usage: but it into you alt.binz dir and set default execute command to:

pathtobatch\join.bat "$d" "$u"

or

pathtobatch\join.bat "$d"

(example: C:\Altbinz\join.bat "$d" "$u" )

it checks if there is a file with .001 in your download location and joins all possible sets in it to your unrar location in the first example or to your download location in the second example.
it deletes all split files after it has done

P.S.: Use with caution

[franzdoe]

Okay, thanks, I'll give it a try.
Is this script run after the entire download is finished (par-checked and unpacked)?
 If it's not, let's just hope people have stopped using multi-span RAR's with .001/.002 extensions.
