Process rar file with awk
<p>I have a 1.5TB database extract from a single table. It was broken up into 7 files and compressed with RAR. </p>

<p>I wanted to extract a subset of the fields into another file for processing.</p>

<p>The examples I have found process bzip or gzip files. Is what I am asking about possible? If not directly how to convert the files to a format that does work with awk?</p>

<p>I have ~146GB of working space on Centos6.</p>
