Re: tar question

[chloe K <chloekcy2000@xxxxxxxx>]

Thank you

it works

 

how about untar

 

tar cvf file.tar -T selectfile.txt

 

inside the selectfile.txt

 

eg:

 

/var/www/html/version3/abc.html

/var/www/html/version3/image/abc.jpg

/var/www/html/version3/cgi-bin/abc.cgi

 

 

how can I untar it

 

as all inside in /var/www/html instead of /var/www/html/version3

 

Thank you again

Check out the -T or --files-from= option.
Something like: (Double check the syntax!)

tar zcv -T file.txt -f elect-file.tar.gz

You will probable find the tar info file more helpful then the tar
man page.
