How to obtain the unrar overall progress report?
I am using fedora's "native" unrar for my python application - no dll version or whatever else is out there. I have been trying to figure out how to obtain unrar's overall progress report for inclusion into my python code but so far I have not been successful. I tried to turn off all of the comments except for the progress report and all I have so far is: unrar x -ierr +o- $file | sed -e 's/.*\([0-9]\+\)[%]$/\1/ I have tried: -c-, -inul, and many other switches but none of these switches helped. There is also a -id[c,d,p,q] command line option but this does not seem to work and this is option is not discussed in the man pages. I noticed that if I add 2>&1 before the pipe, but this removes the overall progress report and shows only the results on a per-directory/file results, which is not what I want. I have also tried awk but unable to figure out how to do it. The problem I have is getting rid of the per directory/file reports when all I want is the overall progress report, 1-100%. Any advice?

Perhaps if you give us a sample of output from the command (without the sed filtering) someone can come up with something. Just a few lines please, including any header lines. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

Hint: use 'head', e.g.: # unrar x -ierr -o+ ~dant/Desktop/foo.rar| head 20 > capture poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines

That's why the usual filters such as 'sed' are going to have a hard time of it. You need to capture each number as it comes out and process it (throwing away the ^H i.e. backspace characters) even though you haven't seen a newline yet, because by the time you see the newline the file has finished. (This is a clear indication that the program was originally written for a non-Unix environment, since the author just assumes that the progress is for display on a terminal and not for filtering). I'm not saying it's impossible, just nasty. You might be better tweaking the source of unrar to give you more manageable output. You probably can't distribute the result though (the license is freeware, not free). poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
