lha help

I want to extract all files that are inside multiple directories. Is there a way to do this?

Assume the directories are are called A, B and C, and there are multiple lha files inside these directories. I want to extract them to another path but also make it copy the directory (without the lha files) as well.

I tried

lha x #?/#? ram:

but this crashes lha

Have you tried the list LFORMAT option to create a script in T:?

try using version 1.38 of lha.. seems 2.15 crashes when thats used.

lha -x x #?/#?[.lha|.lzh] ram:

as you said the folders which contain these archives are a b c etc you could use

lha -x x [a-z]/#?[.lha|.lzh] ram: which should look in every directory from a through to z so A/1.lha a/2.lha a/3.lha all the way through to Z/filename.lha etc
depends on the about of letters in the name you could use ? for each other letter.
-x preserve directories

x = extract with directories

wildcard #?

and [.lha|.lzh] as the extension to use as both are supported..
