Automatically extract qBittorrent downloads

Question

I want to automatically extract torrents downloaded with qBittorrent into the same directory. I have a bat F:\extrator.bat that contains.

    @ECHO off
    timeout /t 10 /nobreak
    set arg1=%1
    set arg2=%2
    shift
    shift
    "C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe" x "%arg1%" "%arg2%"

I call this from qBittorrent on download completion with

"F:\extractor.bat" "%F*.rar" "%F"

The qBittorrent log shows the args passed as arg1 = F:\Torrent\Finished\downloadname*.rar arg2 = F:\Torrent\Finished\downloadname

However Winrar reports an error stating that C:\Windows\System32\"F:\Torrent\Finished\downloadname*.rar" could not be found.

WinRar seems to add C:\Windows\System32\ to the beginning of arg1.

Anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

Solution

Got it to work. qBittorrent command was F:\Extractor.bat %F\*.rar %F

extractor.bat placed in root of F

Contains following script:-

timeout /t 10 /nobreak
set "arg1=%~1"
echo "%arg1%"
set "arg2=%2"
shift
shift
"C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe" x "%arg1%" "%arg2%"

This successfully extracts the archive into the same directory.

Change set arg1=%1 to set "arg1=%~1" and see what happens

That now pops up a window that says No Files to extract. My winrar log shows the following. -------- 28/08/2017 20:41:57, Archive F:\Torrent\Finished\The.Housing.Enforcers.S04E07.720p.HDTV.x‌​264-BARGE\the.housin‌​g.enforcers.s04e07.7‌​20p.hdtv.x264-barge.‌​rar 28/08/2017 20:41:57 No files to extract The files are in the stated location and can be unrared manually with winrar.

Your winrar command line assumes that there is the file/directory The.Housing.Enforcers.S04E07.720p.HDTV.x‌​264-BARGE contained in the archive F:\Torrent\Finished\The.Housing.Enforcers.S04E07.720p.HDTV.x‌​‌​264-BARGE\the.hous‌​in‌​g.enforcers.s04e‌​07.7‌​20p.hdtv.x264-‌​barge.‌​rar. Is that so? I guess not. Probably you should omit "%arg2%" completely.

This worked for me, but adapted it to use peazip instead and to extract in the parent folder, like this: timeout /t 10 /nobreak set "arg1=%~1" echo "%arg1%" set "arg2=%2" shift shift "C:\Program Files\PeaZip\peazip.exe" -ext2simple "%arg1%" "%arg2%\..\"
