I need to take an existing rar and split it into 50Mb pieces. Creating the orginal with -v50M isn't an option.
After the file is created it's given a secure random gen name. If it's created with -v then all the chunks have different names since the random generator is called after the rar process is done and will cycle through all *.rar files and give them a random name. So I'll have 10 pieces of one file all with different names.
That's why I need to split the original file. I've already simply re-rared the original file with the -v50M switch but when you decompress you have the original rar in a subfolder that still needs to be decompressed.
If I could just split the original rar it would be more elegant and especially useful for restoring the data content. I think it's possible as I remember reading somewhere about doing it with the GUI, but this is part of a script so I need CLI.
Thanks In Advance TIA
