I think the option you want is "strip-components."

I have a script Im trying to write. I download a file which is a tar.gz file. Its actually a list of blacklist sites. However when it extracts it creates a folder that it puts all the subdidrectories into. eg. \BL\ads \BL\spam \BL\etc \BL\whatever \BL\so-on Is there any switch etc that could be used to extract the folders with the data actually in them and not put them into the BL folder. In other words \ads \spam \whatever \so-on I just want the folders. The reason why is because the actual folder that the blacklist folders goes into is actually a folder called \blacklist\ads \blacklist\spam So\BL\ is wrong. Sure there are many ways I could achieve this eg extract them cp \BL\*.* \blacklist them over, but I just wondered if I could extract them right over first off and put them in the right folder and save some processing.
