How To Extract Password Protected Rar File Using Patool On Google Colab

I have installed patool on Google Colab. The patool command works file with:

patoolib.extract_archive("/content/drive/My Drive/File_name.part1.rar", outdir="/content/drive/My Drive/Folder/")`

After it's sucessfully finished, it has extracted 10 part zip files.

But when I am trying to extract those 10 files, it returns errors, and is asking for a password. I do know the password and whenever I give the password, it says "program aborted".

Solution

  • For 7z, you can use

    ! 7z e -pPASSWORD "path/to/file.zip"

    to extract a file with password.
