What’s a good way to extract: .zip, .rar, .bz2, .gz, .tar, .tbz2, .tgz, .Z, .7z, .xz, .exe, .tar.bz2, .tar.gz, .tar.xz, .arj, .cab, .chm, .deb, .dmg, .iso, .lzh, .msi, .rpm, .udf, .wim, .xar .cpio .cbr, .cbz, .cb7, .cbt, .cba, .apk, .zpaq, .arc, .ciso files on the Mac or Linux?
The goal is to make extract
able to extract anything you give it. The command extract
uses the free unpackers to support many older, obscure formats like this: .zip, .rar, .bz2, .gz, .tar, .tbz2, .tgz, .Z, .7z, .xz, .exe, .tar.bz2, .tar.gz, .tar.xz, .arj, .cab, .chm, .deb, .dmg, .iso, .lzh, .msi, .rpm, .udf, .wim, .xar .cpio, .cbr, .cbz, .cb7, .cbt, .cba, .apk, .zpaq, .arc, .ciso
Copy & Paste the function into ~/.bash_profile
Copy & Paste the function into ~/.bashrc
My hosting here
Using command extract
, in a terminal
extract <archive_filename.extension>

I’ll continue to work and improve the script's features regardless of the outcome of funding, because it's rewarding to see that people are using it and it does the job for them. Still, I would appreciate your support in covering some of the expenses with the domain hosting and programming hours which are taken from my "family time."
