Jar/Tar to a diffent folder/same folder w/ filename
Hi,
I want to extract myfile.war to a folder which is in the same folder with war file.I did this as normal:
jar -xvf myfile.war
But it exploded all the content of file to the same level folder instead of that I was expecting to create a folder called myfile.
This works with tar:
tar -C available_folder -xvf a_tar_file.tar
but not with jar:
tar -C available_folder -xvf a_tar_file.tar
and it prints "Illegal option: C" even C is available in its man pages.
Another thing is the method works with tar archive needs to create a folder before doing. But is there any other command that I can also create a folder while extracting tar file? Thanks
