Batch Script – Extract Archives with Password List

7-zipbatchcommand linepasswordswinrar

I have 30 commonly used passwords. But I can't find any program to automatically try all passwords, so I want to create a batch script to read a txt file containing passwords and try those 30 passwords continuously with UnRAR.exe or 7z.exe. It would also be great if I could add it somewhere easily accessible (like the context menu or send to menu).

I think I need something that makes cmd send the passwords line by line to the batch process.

Also note that some archives may be split into two or more parts, so the script must support multiple extractions.

I found a tiny free portable app with many features.

Download the portable version here: ExtractNow

You can choose your password list in Settings -> Passwords tab.

For those who don't want to install the shell extension for the context menu feature, make sure these options are enabled in extractnow.ini:

After Extraction Program Close If Successful=1
Startup Extract Automatically=1

Then create a shortcut for extractnow.exe in the Send to menu folder. To open Send-to menu folder, open Run (Win+R) and type shell:sendto

done! Now you can select archive files and right click -> Send to -> extractnow

the extractnow will open and automatically extract your archives with the password list and then close automatically.

extractnow also supports Command Line Parameters.

PowerShell Command – How to Split Over Multiple Lines in Batch File

This is not clear to me:

Get-ChildItem 'Old and New text.txt' | ForEach-Object {(Get-Content $_)

This part suggests that you are going to get items in a folder, precisely items that are files, but immediately your command defines a file where the string replacements will be done right in the content.

See, by removing that part, the replacements came out as expected, but if this is for multiple files for the same replacements, then I'd suggest editing the question. Although confusing, for content handling you don't need "Get-ChildItem 'Old and New text.txt' | ...", and you can directly use Get-Content 'Old and New text.txt' ^|...

start "Start PS1/CMD" /wait /min PowerShell.exe -c  ^
"$Strings=Get-Content 'Old And New Text.txt' ^| %%  ^
   ^{ $_ -replace('OldText1','NewText1')^
         -replace('OldText2','NewText2')^
         -replace('OldText3','NewText3')^}^
  ; sc 'Old And New Text.txt' -Value $Strings -Force"
