Thank you.
How about untar?
I am using -T
tar cvf file.tar -T file.txt
inside file.txt,
eg:
/var/www/html/version/abc.html
/var/www/html/version/image/abc.jpg
how can I untar those files into /var/www/html instead of /var/www/html/version
Thank you again

I'm sure there will be other ideas but in the absence of an "include
these files" file option, you could employ a simple loop to append the
files in a list to a tar archive. For example, if you had a file named
"include" with these 3 records
/bin/gawk
/etc/fstab
/etc/resolv.conf
This would cause the 3 files to be archived as "included.tar".
[rj@mavis ~]$ while read inc ; do echo "including:" $inc ; tar -v -r
$inc -f included.tar ; done < include
Just to be sure....
[rj@mavis ~]$ tar -tvf included.tar
-rwxr-xr-x root/root 320416 2007-03-14 09:48:15 bin/gawk
-rw-r--r-- root/root 874 2008-09-23 09:53:40 etc/fstab
-rw-r--r-- root/root 135 2008-08-21 21:18:43 etc/resolv.conf
[rj@mavis ~]$
The real challenge here is to compile the "include" file correctly.
