This Amiga CLI program simplifies the extraction of large numbers of LHA

archives commonly used in WHDLoad. Designed with WHDLoad Download Tool users

in mind, it automates the process of searching for archives in all

subfolders and extracting them to a specified target path while preserving

the original folder structure.

KEY FEATURES

Scanning input folders and subfolders for LHA archives
Extracting the archives using the LHA program to an output folder
Preserving the subfolder structure from the input folder during extraction
Extracting only new or updated files to avoid unnecessary duplication

PREREQUISITES

To use this program, ensure the LHA software is installed in the

C: directory. You can download it from aminet.net/package/util/arc/lha.

USAGE

$ WHDArchiveExtractor <source_directory> <output_directory>

For example:

$ WHDArchiveExtractor PC0:WHDLoad/Beta DH0:WHDLoad/Beta

This will scan the PC0:WHDLoad/Beta directory and extract all LHA archives

found to the DH0:WHDLoad/Beta directory, preserving the folder structure.

CHANGELOG:

[1.0.0] - 2028-04-28

- First release
