I was wondering if somebody could help me with the syntax for extracting an
archive with an absolute path name in Windows. If I change to the directory
where the file is I can extract it, but if I try to call the tar command with
the path I always get an error. I've tried tar -xf
C:\Tcl\projects\failedDeliveryList\FailedDeliveries072309.tar,
tar -xfC C:\Tcl\projects\failedDeliveryList\ FailedDeliveries072309.tar,
and tar --extract --file=FailedDeliveries072309.tar
--directory=C:\Tcl\projects\failedDeliveryList\. But nothing works.
