Im trying to extract the contents of a zip file but I want to extract it to my own directory. I'v tried -d from unzip but that just puts the contents of the zip into that directory.
But I want to extract the contents of the first (root) directory in the zip if there is only one directory in the root of the zip else just extract the files/folders in the root of the zip file (if there are more then one files).
e.g. test.zip contents the following dir structure:
test.zip
/app_v1/ <-The contents of this directory I want extracted to a dir of my choice
- folder-1
- folder-2
- folder-3
- folder-4
- file1
- file2

View 1 Replies View Relatedis a file association to a program that will only run in it's own directory. (Arobas' Guitar Pro, if you're curious). The link created by the installer leads to a shell script, which cd's to /opt/GuitarPro6, then executes the program there. Attempting to call the program from outside that directory fails, as the program cannot find it's libraries. It starts normally otherwise.
Passing a file name to the program via the command line works fine, IF you start with the working directory as above. The question is, what can I do to pass the filename to the command line in the shell script, so that double-clicking in Nautilus brings up the program with the file? (Currently, just associating with the shell script gives me the program, with no loaded file).
Second issue is files with an .hjt extension. They're essentially text files, following a specific format used by Treepad. Nautilus recognizes them as text files. When I change their association to Treepad, regular .txt files follow this change, and when I change the .txt's back to Leafpad, the .hjt's follow. How can I separate the .hjt's from the .txt's?
Does anyone know how I can make a program run automatically when a file appears in a particular directory? I have two computers, one to program the firmware on a microcontroller (command line only), and the other is my desktop machine running Ubuntu. I have an NFS share between the two. What I want is to be able to drop a new firmware load into the shared directory from the desktop, and have the other computer notice it and program the microcontroller with it. Right now I have to open an SSH session to the other computer, run the program manually, and then delete the file. I would like to automate all of that.

View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen ever I extract a file from a .tar or whatever, it isn't detected. I notice this mainly when i'm using xampp. I copy zip up all my files on one computer, load ubuntu on another, extract the files to the web folder (htdocs) and then I get nothing. However, when I manually create the files directly on my computer as opposed to extracting them, they appear.
Is there something I need to do in order to have these files appear? Is there some sort of file system refresh? Or am I being a complete idiot?
This is what I tried to do:>cd ~/Desktop >sudo sh ati-driver-installer-10-1-x86.x86_64.run --extract.After entering my password, this appeared: >sh: Can't open ati-driver-installer-10-1-x86.x86_64.run.What am I doing wrong? It apparently worked in this thread.

I just installed Ubuntu for the second time, first time was like 2 years ago and my pc was an oddball and some stuff was just not supported properly. Anyways.. I've got the latest build of Ubuntu installed, everything is working fine, just one problem.
I have many, many, many files that are archived in multiple .rar's. Like .r01, .r02, etc... I have them all copied over to the harddrive, but cannot extract what is in them. Also, I have some of these .rar's archived in a single .rar because of windows being stupid and not letting me copy them to my external drive as the names of them were too long for windows to handle. Those .rar's will extract a couple of the .r01, etc.. files, but not all of them.
I can't seem to extract it with any archiver, and when I used unrar from the console, I get this:shai@shai-desktop:~/Desktop$ unrar c1700-adventerprisek9-mz.124-15.T8.rarunrar 0.0.1 Copyright (C) 2004 Ben Asselstine, Jeroen DekkersExtracting from /home/shai/Desktop/c1700-adventerprisek9-mz.124-15.T8.rarExtracting c1700-adventerprisek9-mz.124-15.T8.image Failed 1 FailedYou can see that it can open the archive but it can't get the file inside.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have installed unrar-free, and I am trying to extract a file from a .rar archive (actually the file is split into several archives).
When I choose one of the .rar files and open it with Archive Manager, there are no errors and the file to be extracted shows in the Archive Manager window. I then choose to extract it, and after that I click on "show files". But when the folder supposedly containing the extracted file opens, the file isn't there.
Maybe relevant info:
I am running latest stable version of Ubuntu, as the user that was created during the Ubuntu installation. The files are in my "Downloads" folder, and the Archive Manager window says that the .rar file is read-only.

OK, So I'm trying to make a SFX file that will extract it's files your home folder, But I can't seem to figure out how.
First you have to make an archive,

Then you have to make the sfx.
Code:
rar s Zipper.zip
But they still get extracted wherever the sfx volume is.
