Open RAR file and get folder inside the archive

Question

I have lots of .rar files with lots of folders inside them. I want to read the .rar files' names and enter them to get the folders' names, then enter the folders. I don't want to extract the .rar files.

Answer 1

Try Nunrar. It has a streaming support which is what you're looking for. The example of counting the entries of an archive is in the link.

[Edit]

Note: You want to read and count rar file entries without extracting them, which is the following code does:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using NUnrar;
using NUnrar.Archive;
using System.IO;

namespace NunrarSOF
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            RarArchive archive = RarArchive.Open(@"C:\Work\fileName.rar");
            int count = 0;
            //archive.Volumes.ToString();
            foreach (RarArchiveEntry entry in archive.Entries)
            {
                count++;
                Console.WriteLine(entry.FilePath);
            }
            Console.WriteLine(count);
        }
    }
}
