'because the generate'? I don't think that translated, come again?

Did tar work or not?

The tar works, what does not understand is that the tar-xvf eighteen results in the file

Greetings.

Because tar is an archive? (tar=tape archive)
Code:
tar tf XXXXXX_2010.tar

lists the files in the archive. 18 files in your case.
Code:
tar xf XXXXXX_2010.tar

extracts them. An extra v option is verbose.

Another (compressed) archive is zip.
Code:
unzip -l archive.zip

lists the files in the archive.
