Introduction

I download a lot of files everyday (5 gigs per day) and sometimes I see some files like these (specially for the films or big files):

Godfather_CD2_W-BB_BrAd.avi.001
Godfather_CD2_W-BB_BrAd.avi.002
Godfather_CD2_W-BB_BrAd.avi.003
Godfather_CD2_W-BB_BrAd.avi.004
Godfather_CD2_W-BB_BrAd.avi.005
Godfather_CD2_W-BB_BrAd.avi.006
Godfather_CD2_W-BB_BrAd.avi.007
Godfather_CD2_W-BB_BrAd.avi.008

extracting these files are a little complex. you can use winrar to compress them once and then extract them from the new compressed file but it is very timeconsuming! with this program you can easily combine these type of files!

Using the code

For using this program you should do the followings :

0- copy the Combiner.exe to the folder that you have some .001, .002, ... files.

1- copy one of your part file's name to the clipboard. for example I copy the file named : "Godfather_CD2_W-BB_BrAd.avi.001"

2- Open the program (It automatically paste the file name in the correct place!). you write the filename yourself.

3- Enter the number of parts (in this cace I sould enter 8)

4- Press the Generate button! then a .bat file will create ! ("Godfather_CD2_W-BB_BrAd.avi.bat" in this case!) if you run that .bat file then your files will combined and the main file would created! ("Godfather_CD2_W-BB_BrAd.avi" in this case!)

            InitializeComponent();
            textBox1.Text = Clipboard.GetText();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (textBox2.Text.ToString() != "")
            {
                try
                {
                    string s = textBox1.Text.ToString();
                    string fileName = s.Substring(0, s.Length - 4);
                    int x = Convert.ToInt16(textBox2.Text.ToString());
                    FileInfo f = new FileInfo(fileName + ".bat");
                    StreamWriter w = f.CreateText();
                    w.WriteLine("Copy /b \"" + fileName + ".001" + "\" \"" + fileName + "\"\n");
                    for (int i = 2; i <= x; i++)
                        w.WriteLine("Copy /b \"" + fileName + "\" + \"" + fileName + "." + ((i >= 100) ? "" : "0") + ((i < 100 && i >= 10) ? "" : "") + ((i < 10) ? "0" : "") + i.ToString() + "\"\n");
                    w.Close();
                    MessageBox.Show("The file \"" + fileName + ".bat\" created successfully!\nuse it to extract your file!");
                }
                catch (Exception err)
                {
                    MessageBox.Show(err.ToString());
                }
            }
            else
            { MessageBox.Show("enter the number of part files!"); }
        }             
    }
