can't unzip a bunch of files.

[Seamus]

Example: rev-dc3e.zip.083

There are over 30 of 'em

I've tried Win rar, Winzip and 7zip. I'm obviously doing something wrong or the files are corrupt.


Any ideas?

Rename without the '.083' and try that. But keep a back up if it doesn't work, ie copy to a new area and work on that.

There are two file extensions, it should have only one.

rename each one to xxxxxxxx.zip where 'x' is the original name.

The .83 suggests to me that there are at least 83 files. But there should be a first one called: "something.rar" or "something.zip" or "something.exe" etc, which will decompress first and chain on unzipping the files in sequence.

What is the nature of the file? If it is a movie there is a proggie that can just decompress a part file to preview, but I have forgotten what it is called.

Off-topic and pointless but I first read this as "can't unzip a bunch of flies" which I thought was rather an odd problem to share...

I can understand how upzipping a bunch of flies could make someone pant!
I wonder if we can get a ruling on this from StriaghtEdge?

I was thinking the ".083" could be the 83rd part in a multi-part archive. Often they're just split, and concatenating them using something like COPY A.ZIP.??? A.ZIP or some other similar style command.

I was wondering, when I read your post, how it was possible to unzip flies, as they are very small and move a lot and don't even have zips, but then I had an epiphany.
