Recombining split files

Nov 20, 2019

Data may be transferred in split files, which will commonly have the extension .bin or simply .001, .002, .003, etc.. These files can be re-combined into the .RAR format, a common archive format similar to .zip. You can use a command in DOS to recombine these binary files into a single .RAR file that can be opened.

copy /b splitfile1.bin + spiltfile2.bin "2019LItSupport.rar"

Two files, 'splitfile1.bin' and 'splitfile2.bin' from separate discs or downloads, become a single rar file that can be opened in WinRAR or 7-zip.

7-zip also contains a utility to re-combine split files but WinRAR does not.
