Re: Tar and a gz Archive [OT]

[Sean Cole (Pi) via use-livecode]

I'm using

*put* shell("unzip -p '" & tZipPath & "'") into tTDProductList
-p is because it's password protected. It'll extract all contents
recursively. If you don't want it recursive you need to specify either what
you do want or don't want extracted. To specify just one file you want to
extract just add the subpath to it at the end, eg:

'unzip c:/myfile.zip subdir/subdir2/aFile.txt'

To exclude a file use the -x tag:

'unzip -x c:/myfile.zip subdir/subdir2/aFile.txt'

use unzip --help or --man to find out other uses. If unzip is not installed
(which it should be for Debian, CentOS and Ubuntu) then use:  sudo apt
install unzip

tar xvf #doesn't do the trick? (after gunzipping of course)


2) Same as 1 but to recurs n times.


I'm not understanding this.
Of course, that probably means I'm misunderstanding the whole thing.

I'm sorry... I forgot to mention it's Linux command line via ssh shell.

Looks like Tar is a Windows 10 only command line utility. I’m sure you know but 
tar /? should get you the options available. Whether or not you can grok what 
they actually mean is another thing.

There are some powershelgl scripts out there but not with the specificity you 
need.

1) Extract the files from a specific folder in the archive into another folder

2) Same as 1 but to recurs n times.
