We’ve received numerous questions around what .001 files are and how to use them. 001 files are the format for split files. .001 files are usually numbered as .001, .002, .003, etc. They are not compressed and contain separate components of a file. In order for a .001 file to work, it must be “joined” back together. Many times .001 files will be joined to create an ISO or a Bin File.

Use the -s switch on the zip command in terminal. So if your folder was called FolderName. Zip -r -s 64 archive.zip FolderName/. 64 is the size of the split (in this case 64Mb). Use -s to set the split size and create a split archive. The size is given as a number followed optionally by one of k (kB), m (MB), g (GB), or t (TB) (the default is m. Extract every file EXCEPT the ones listed. E.g.: Don't extract file2.txt unzip zipfile.zip -x file2.txt; The above commands accept wildcards as options too. The. is a wildcard for multiple characters.? Is a wildcard for a single character. Unzip zipfile.zip 'file.t?' Unzip the files to a different directory unzip zipfile.zip -d./other-directory.

Instead of using a program like WinRAR or 7Zip to compress and break apart files, the .001 split format is just a file that has been divided into several parts for easier posting. Most of the articles or binary files that you download from binary newsgroups will be in a RAR format such as filename.part01.rar, filename.part02, etc. These files can be extracted-put back together into its original state by an UNRAR’ing program . In most cases, .001 files cannot be put back together by UnRAR programs.

UnRAR/Extraction programs like Winrar do not extract the .001 split files because the files were never compressed. They are usually split apart by a file splitting program such as hjsplit or 001filejoinerspliter.

The file part that ends with the 001 file extension contains the data that will open and join the rest of the .00X extensions together. Most of the programs should find the rest of the .001 parts (.002, .003, etc.) if they are in the same containing folder.
