unrar multiple files with password

The problem: how to unrar multiple rar files with known password

This works fine:

Quote:

#!/bin/sh
for f in "*.part1.rar"; do unrar e "$f"; done

but how to/what to implement to prevent asking me for password each time

Have tried:

Quote:

#!/bin/sh
passwd=KNOWPASS
for f in "*.part1.rar"; do unrar e p$passwd "$f"; done

but it wont work.

Any help appreciated.

from the man page, it is -p and not p.

Code:

   -ep       Don't create directories while extracting.

       -o+       Overwrite files when extracting.

       -o-       Don't overwrite files when extracting.

       -p        Decrypt archive using a password.

Even better:

Quote:

#!/bin/sh
PASS=pass
FILE=file
#
find -type f -name $FILE -exec unrar -p$PASS x {} \;
