tar -cvzf tarlearn.tar.gz --remove-files mytemp/* If the folder is mytemp then if you apply the above it will zip and remove all the files in the folder but leave it alone. tar -cvzf tarlearn.tar.gz --remove-files --exclude='*12_2008*' --no-recursion mytemp/* You can give exclude patterns and also specify not to look into subfolders too

2009年6月12日 · Different tar versions expects this options in different order: for instance, @Andrew's answer indicates that in GNU tar v 1.26 and 1.28 the excludes comes last, whereas in my case, with GNU tar 1.29, it's the other way.

This old way of writing 'tar' options can surprise even experienced users. For example, the two commands: tar cfz archive.tar.gz file tar -cfz archive.tar.gz file are quite different. The first example uses 'archive.tar.gz' as the value for option 'f' and recognizes the option 'z'.

tar in itself just bundles files together (the result is called a tarball), while zip applies compression as well. Usually you use gzip along with tar to compress the resulting tarball, thus achieving similar results as with zip. For reasonably large archives there are important differences though. A zip archive is a collection of compressed files.

Had a similar situation myself. I think it is best to create the tar elsewhere and then use -C to tell tar the base directory for the compressed files. Example: tar -cjf workspace.tar.gz -C <path_to_workspace> $(ls -A <path_to_workspace>) This way there is no need to exclude your own tarfile. As noted in other comments, -A will list hidden files.

sudo tar -xvf filename.tar. This fixes two problems with the above tar -xv filename.tar. 1st Issue: Needed to include a the -f modifier for tar. Per [lowfatlinux][2], -f is a command for tar that says: "The archive file name is given on the command line …

You renamed the openresty-1.9.7.3.tar to openresty-1.9.7.3.tar.gz, but this didn't make it gzipped tar archive. So first command fails, because this can't be gunzipped. Second command just verbosely extract the archive, without trying to gunzip it.

A tar.gz is a tar file inside a gzip file, so 1st you must unzip the gzip file with gunzip -d filename.tar.gz, and then use tar to untar it. However, since gunzip says it isn't in gzip format, you can see what format it is in with file filename.tar.gz, and use the appropriate program to open it.

TAR=location of tar binary; ARCHIVE=Archive base name (without .tar.multivolumenumber) RPATH=path to restore (leave empty for full restore) RDEST=restore destination folder (relative or absolute path) EXCLUDE=files to exclude (with pattern matching)

2020年1月27日 · Older versions need to script this. You can specify the directory that the extract is placed in by using the tar -C option. The script below assumes that the directories do not exist and must be created. If the directories do exist the script will still work - the mkdir will simply fail. tar -xvzf archive.tar.gx -C archive_dir e.g.
