I try to use 7z extract above *.rar files:

7z e *.rar -oOPT -p$(cat passwd.txt) -r

but result:

That seems does not work. I feel confused.

    What about using find . -iname "*.rar" -exec 7z e {} -oOPT -p$(cat passwd.txt) \; ? – Michal Przybylowicz Aug 26 '19 at 14:01
  • Hi @Michal Przybylowicz : Thanks your reply. This work fine. But I also want to know why My command can't. – curlywei Aug 26 '19 at 14:12
  • I also try find . -iname "*.rar" -exec 7z x {} -oOPT -p$(cat passwd.txt) -r +, but I got the error report find: missing argument to `-exec' . Why + can't. – curlywei Aug 26 '19 at 14:16
  • You can try to use double quotes like this 7z e "*.rar" -oOPT -p$(cat passwd.txt). – Michal Przybylowicz Aug 26 '19 at 14:18

    Hi @Michal Przybylowicz: 7z e "*.rar" -oOPT -p$(cat passwd.txt) is work fine. Could you post it to answer? Thanks! – curlywei Aug 26 '19 at 14:21
  • @MichalPrzybylowicz Yeah, for some reason, 7z doesn't look at the -p option when multiple filename arguments are given--but unlike the overwhelming majority of commands on a Unix-like system, it does its own interpretation of globs like *.rar to specify multiple files, and when run with one such argument, it does respect -p. Either single or double quotes are fine here, as both prevent the shell from expanding *.rar into multiple arguments to 7z. Since you came up with the solution, I recommend posting an answer about it, as curlywei suggested. – Eliah Kagan Aug 26 '19 at 14:24
  • Or use \*.rar also can work fine same to "*.rar" – curlywei Aug 26 '19 at 15:15
  • I have posted an answer without the -r flag since the manual says Do not use "-r" because this flag does not do what you think. Unfortunately it does not explain what it actually does. – Michal Przybylowicz Aug 26 '19 at 15:24
  • Hi @ Michal Przybylowicz: I look this manual for 7z option -r: -r: Enable recurse subdirectories.. Yes, this flag does not do what you think.. Thanks your mentions. – curlywei Aug 26 '19 at 15:29

You need to put double quotes around the *.rar part of the command :

7z e "*.rar" -oOPT -p$(cat passwd.txt)
