Subject: | [Bug-tar] Extracting tar file entries to a different location |
Date: | Sat, 29 Jan 2005 18:20:48 +0530 |
Hi,
I am trying to invoke the
tar.exe in the following way (as this is my requirement), i.e My tar.exe in
different location and my abc.tar is in entirely different location. How do I
extract this abc.tar which is in different location. I tried -C <dir>
option but it expects <dir> to be the subdirectory of the current
directory.
My tar.exe is in : c:\venky\NewTest\
My abc.tar is in : c:\tartest\
C:\Venky>c:\venky\NewTest\tar -xvf
c:\tartest\abc.tar
C:\VENKY\NEWTEST\TAR.EXE: Cannot open c:\tartest\abc.tar: Function not implement ed C:\VENKY\NEWTEST\TAR.EXE: Error is not recoverable: exiting now C:\Venky>
Please let me know if this is a
bug or I am missing something. I am using tar which I downloaded from the
following location http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/tar.htm
Thanks
Venkatesan
