Opps, I hadn't thought of that. I just checked, and although GNU has lots of advanced options, including an implementation of half of AWK for specifying regexes to run file names through when adding or extracting, there does not seem to be any way to achieve this other than what you've suggested (or doing proper tar parsing/a library). _______________________________________________ Ohrrpgce mailing list ohrrpgce@lists.motherhamster.org http://lists.motherhamster.org/listinfo.cgi/ohrrpgce-motherhamster.org
