Once an archive has been opened in Ark, it can be extracted. To extract files from an archive, you can either select from the menu or click on the file. The Extract dialog allows you to select where you will extract files to. You can also select which files to extract:
extracts the most recently selected file. If multiple files are selected, only the most recently selected one will be extracted.
extracts the entire contents of the archive.
extracts all the files which have been selected.
allows you to specify which
files will be extracted, corresponding to certain patterns, e.g.
*.txt
or *.jpg
. Note that you can only use one
pattern at a time.
You can specify the folder to extract files to in the Extract to: text box. If you want to change the default folder, in the main program window, choose on the menu. Under the Advanced tab, you can choose some specific options depending on the archive format.
