Try: 1. Normally it is not possible to delete a file from a tape archive. Some tars may have a special option. Otherwise the archive would need to be recreated. 2. Try: Code:
tar tvf tarfile '*solarisstudio.tar' Last edited by Scrutinizer; 02-04-2013 at 06:47 AM.. |

1) The pax command can do it. Code:
man pax Code:
pax -w -c "ingres.tar" < application.tar > newapplication.tar newapplication.tar is the same as application.tar but the file ingres.tar |
