before you hit the reply button, i've already tried split&concat and it doesn't work in my situation mmkay? :)

problem: i have multipart archives. split&concat refuses to concatenate any of them because the files (going anywhere from 2 to 50+) aren't named the way it likes them to be named. i can't be arsed to write a bash script to use 'cat' to combine them together because the naming scheme and file format varies and is usually mixed with all sorts of non-archive files, AND the cat method doesn't always work. and i'd like to not to use terminal cause I just want to double click these and have them unarchive.

is there an app out there (i've already tried stuffit, the unarchiver (what a pile of **** giving me all sorts of errors when they dont exist and other apps don't have a problem with them), betterzip, untar, the built-in unarchiver, unrarx, ...the list goes on) that will let me do this? or no, am i stuck with terminal or opening these on windows instead?

thanks :)
