How can i insert the password from a text file using cmd?

I am trying to open a password protected Rar file with cmd and when it asks for a password I want it to automatically insert the password stored in a text file. How can I do that?

Solution

  • I suppose WinRAR has CLI for that stuff:

    unrar x -p your_password your_rar_file.rar

    Instead of your_password you can read from the file:

    unrar x -p 'cat /path/to/passwdfile' your_rar_file.rar
