How to merge/combine files with extensions .001, .002, .003.. etc? [duplicate]

There are files on sites like rapidshare which have extensions like .001, .002, .003? They seem to be split by some tool. How to merge these files?

The files have likely been split by a compression program. 7-Zip should handle them fine. They could also have been split with hjsplit or a similar tool, but 7-zip should handle the files.

"A lot of the other answers assume that the files are parts of a RAR (or similar) archive. If, on the other hand, they are simply split files and you want to recombine them, there is a simple way:

On Unix systems, just use cat - it's what it was made for - concatenate. Just cat foo.001 foo.002 ... > foo.combined and you're done.

On Windows, the simple, unassuming command line copy command can in fact also do this, but you must remember the /B switch."
