The easiest way I have found for testing RAR archive files in Mac OS X (whether testing a single or files split batches of rar parts) is to use the command line UnRAR tool. Unlike most of the GUI unarchiver tools I have tested on Mac, the command line tool gives a full report of each RAR part and whether it is corrupt or not. RAR files have an inbuilt CRC record, to the UnRAR tool will test the CRC against the file. Here's how to do it:

RAR files, or Roshal Archive files, are an archival file format containing data compressed for faster file transfer speeds. Macs do not come with a default, pre-installed program on Mac OS Yosemite to open RAR files; however, free programs are available for download to open RAR files on a Mac, including Stuffit Expander, RAR Expander and UnRarX. To delete all the files and sub-folders in a directory named 'oldfolder', the command is rm -R oldfolder and to confirm each file should be deleted, rm -iR oldfolder. Just because you can use Terminal to delete files on your Mac, doesn't mean you should. It's a relatively blunt instrument, deleting only those files and folders you specify. How to Zip Files Using Mac Terminal. You can Zip your files in Mac's Terminal in different ways, but the simplest method will be outlined here for you. Open up a Finder window. Open up Terminal by typing in 'Terminal' at the search bar located on the top right part of your screen.

First off, follow the instructions on my earlier post for how to install the UnRAR command line tool into Mac OS X.

Step 2

TIP: The following commands require entering file paths into Terminal. You can either type these paths in by hand or do this: Just locate the file in Finder, grab the file and drag it over to Terminal after you have typed in the command (along with one trailing space). The other option is if you have TotalFinder installed. This gives you a new Finder command called 'Copy Path'. Very handy. But dragging and dropping works very nicely.

In Terminal.app type the following command: Mac vhs to digital.

If you have a batch of split RAR files, enter the path to the first one in the batch. It is usually the one with the .rar file extension. The next files in a batch typically have the extension .00 and then .01 etc.

UnRAR will go through the whole batch of files, including their contents of the RAR files, and test them for corruption.

This way if your batch of RAR files won't extract, you only have to re-download the files that are damaged and not the whole lot.

Of course you can also use this command line tool to perform the extraction. Just use the same command but replace the t with an x.

NOTE: You will need to first change the current directory to the one you want to extract the RAR archive into. The first line in the following example does exactly that. You'll need to replace the path with the correct one for your situation. Remember you can create the extraction folder in Finder and then drag that folder into Terminal after you've typed the first part of the command (and followed it with a trailing space).

Something like: Run exe on mac sierra.

cd means change directory.
