tar with absolute patch
Hi,
I have a tar file
xx.tar
It contains files with absolute path such as
/Arr/bla/tra/myfile.txt
/Arr/bla/tra/myfile1.txt
/Arr/bla/tra/myfile2.txt
.
.
.
I need to extract files from tar and put them in another directory such as :
/XX/YY/TT
how can I do so ?
many thanks
Angelo

Re: tar with absolute patch
Howdy,
If you can't dereference the absolute pathname how about creating a symbolic link with the path that the tar file is expecting? Make the symlink point to where you actually want the files to appear then delete the link after wards.

Re: tar with absolute patch
On Linux, GNU tar will remove leading '/'.
#tar xf mw.tar
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
Don't be root.
There is a special option for not removing leading '.' (-P, check manpage).

Re: tar with absolute patch
Shalom Angelo,
Yes.
options:
mv the tar file to the top of the absolute path and tar xvf it there.
-C directory option at unzip time.
Example:
tar -xvf foo.tar -C bar/
Its all from the man page because I don't trust my memory.
