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?


$ tar ztf y.tar.gz | grep x.doc

.../Ed

Ahhh.... You probably really want...


$ tar ztf y.tar.gz | grep x\\.doc
