If the archive, "x.tar.gz", has a file that you want called "z.doc" then if you only want to extract the one file do:
tar xvzf x.tar.gz z.doc
This is true, AND you must match the path as stored in the archive. So for example, if you have an archive with:
xyz/1.abc
Then you must use:
tar xf x.tar xyz/1.abc
Another question is search for a file in a tar.gz archive. Now I do it in a heavy way in two steps, first make a file I can search in and then make the search:
less y.tar.gz | cat > readfile grep -n "x.doc" readfile
.......and I get the file with full path.
I believe there is a command for searching directly for a file and path in a tar.gz archive, but wich one is it?
