How to Extract .RAR files with C++

Hi guys. I want to write a C++ program to extract the .RAR files. I got the sources of unrar from their official website WinRAR archiver, a powerful tool to process RAR and ZIP files but have no idea about their implementation in a C++ code.
I never used a third party library in my programs. So I got the sources but have absolutely no idea on "HOW TO IMPLEMENT THEM IN A PROGRAM".
So can anyone help me at least with a starting point..??
Thanks in advance.

I'd use something else personally, because as you know, unrar.dll is severely lacking in documentation. ZIP is an ISO standard.
The closest thing I can find to documentation is this: unRAR.dll Manual - which is not official, so use at your own risk. Make sure that you download the unrar dll I highly doubt you will need anything else.

Also, code smart. Read everything that comes with the dll download please. :o

Thanks again.
Can you help me with a basic code that how to use/call the unrar.dll or any third part library in a C++ program.??
Just need a very basic sample code to get started.

Hmm, seems like there is a documentation folder in the dll download. I missed it earlier cause it's late...

This might help: LoadLibrary function

You might want to clarify what you already know.

In particular : What do you understand is the difference between a C and C++ program? What types of programs and libraries have you created?


The reason for my first question is that different people mean different things when they talk about using (or adapting) C source in a C++ program. So plenty of people might give you answers that are perfectly correct, but actually confuse you further. The way you've asked your question suggests you are not thinking in the way that a lot of people do, when they think in terms of "implementation in a C++ code".

The reason for my second question is that learning C and/or C++ programming is a gradual process, and using third party libraries (even more so, using libraries associated with "powerful tools" that - like WinRAR - are not known for being well documented) is not something you want to jump into too early. From the way you have phrased your question, I suspect you have jumped past several things that people expect you to know, if you are trying to use a third party library. So I'm concerned that people might give you answers that are completely correct, but will confuse you because they'll rely on things you haven't learned yet. Sort of like asking how to build the roof of a house, when you haven't even worked out how to lay down the ground floor or put up the walls.

@whiteflags..
I'm on the move now.. Thanks bro..!!

dude.. with due respect.. I know my capabilities.. and how to tackle my weak sections.. I'm not pretty good with phrasing questions so I always write them in a noobs way.. I always learn and implement the parts which are needed and skip the rest. This is the reason I lag with some very basics of programming, however I've also created my own tools like Keylogger and Ultimate Keygens in C++. Things are as simple as complicated with me.
However, Thanks for you advice. I'll look forward to follow it in future.

It seems the filter can't handle the 1337.

Apologies to those at work. ^_^;

[Edit]
By the by, I spent less than five minutes throwing API entry points at my search engine of choice and found two complete different, great examples.

Looks cool. I'm sure you'll provide a documentation sooner. LOL :p

I really hope a program cranks that stuff out for you. when i was 12 the program was me...

I'll never tell.

Soma

what is that crazy stuff? i am intrigued!

You may know your capabilities. We don't. Your question came across as one from someone with little experience asking about things well beyond your skill levels. Hence my response.

There comes a point where that approach to learning breaks down. And your question suggests you have reached a point where it has.

Yeah, okay, you're a script kiddie. And you've confirmed my impression (inexperienced person asking question beyond his/her skills) because I know how easy such tools are to create.

In future, I'll dumb down any answers I give you accordingly. Would you rather we use 1337?

O_o

Careful.

"1337" like "4chan" can drive a person to madness... also sparta.
