tar tricks
Hello there,
Is there anyway to make the tar utility print the contents of the files inside it (not list the files, but rather their contents) sequentially from the command line? What I ultimately would like to do is to have a way of printing the contents of each file in the tar archive separately to the standard input of another program through a pipe: i.e. tar -something test.tar | file_reader |

As for printing each file seperately, you can extract a specific file from a tar with Code:
tar -xf file.tar path/in/archive/to/file |
