Creating splitted archives on NMT A-100 (7Zip or alternative)?

[freeekbert]

Hi,

is there any possibility to compile 7Zip for Popcorn Hour?

I need it, because I want to copy a file bigger than 4GB to an external FAT32-formatted drive, where the file has to be splitted in several parts. Unfortunately, on the box there is only an UnRar-application but I'm looking for a (freeware) program for creating splitted archives.
For me 7Zip suites best but I'd consider any alternative program.

Any idea is appreciated.
Regards.

PS: Would be great, if the application was included in the CSI.

I just looked and busybox on the pch has the split command.

So you should be able to use that

/opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK # split -h
split: illegal option -- h
BusyBox v1.14.1 (2009-06-21 11:33:51 CEST) multi-call binary

Usage: split [OPTION] [INPUT [PREFIX]]

Options:
-b n[k|m] Split by bytes
-l n Split by lines
-a n Use n letters as suffix

/opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK #


Then you just put them back with the cat command.

Thanks for your effort.

I know the split command but I need a way to put the files back together on Windows. Unfortunately cat doesn't work there
The FAT32 formatted disk is just a transfer drive between Linux (PCH) and Windows.

Any further ideas?

on windows just use the copy /b command example

copy /b splitfilenames* file.avi /b

I can test it when I get a chance -- that should work, /b tells the copy command its binary.

Ok tested it real quick.. took tv show, only 238MB to start with - but figured be faster to test with smaller file.
so on pch
split -b 100m test.avi

copied those file to my window machine ( I used network - but does not matter if you move using disk)
G:\test>dir
11/02/2010 07:48 AM 104,857,600 xaa
11/02/2010 07:48 AM 104,857,600 xab
11/02/2010 07:48 AM 34,609,462 xac
3 File(s) 244,324,662 bytes

so ran this command

copy /b xa* new.avi /b

I just played the file - not all the way through mind you - but sure look working just fine.

Awesome, it really worked! Thanks for the tip!

Now I'm gonna write a little script for this.

Greetings.
