Re: new bie (tar command)
Anil Garg disturbed my sleep to write: p.s. i looked earlier at -t, infact i was also trying to use -x with -t. Logical enough, but not correct. -t and -x are mutually exclusive. -t means just list the contents; -x means extract the contents (ie, get files out of the tarball). The tar command won't let you do both. Hope this helps, Hugh -- Saint Aardvark the Carpeted [EMAIL PROTECTED] Because the plural of Anecdote is Myth.
