Development Simple Program to Extract and Import Files

Hi guys,

Well, here is what i want to do. Problem is i don't know how to do it.

I want to create a simple program that will Extract all my music .RAR files from a one folder and into another. Also, i would the program to launch iTunes and import the extracted files.

I have been thinking of using a macro or a batch file but i don't think that they would work.

can anyone help me?

Thanks a lot.

 

I'd try using a bat file. This shows you how to process each .rar file within a folder, then just pass the relevant parameters to winrar.

 

Thank you for your repley. However, i have no experience with batch files and i can't seem to make sense of anything. I would greatly appreciate it if you could lead me in the right direction or give me a quick example.

Thank you

As shown on the web site, use a for loop to process all the .rar files within the folder [that the bat file is ran from]. Instead of printing the documents, use winrar to extract the archives into another folder.

So something like this,

Code:

for  %%f  in  (*.rar)   do   "c:\program files\winrar\winrar.exe" x "%%f" *.* NewMusic\

I have no experience with iTunes so I don't know if you can pass parameters to it (google didn't help).

 

thank you very much.... i will look over the page again and try to figure it out. thanks for help!
