Answer 1

Winrar comes with Rar.exe command-line tool. You could use it in the following format:

Rar.exe l -pPASSWORD archive.rar

Great :D I had no idea what that meant in the documentation. But i know this could be done! :) – Hokum

Answer 2

The commands l (lower L) and lb (LB) are available in rar.exe and unrar.exe (but not in Winrar.exe)

The command l lists a lot of other informations beside the filename (compression-rate, date, ...) if you just need the filenames then use lb instead of l:

unrar.exe lb -pPASSWORD archive.rar >files.txt
