Full Discussion: Unpack .tar-file and get name

Unpack .tar-file and get name
Hi there,

I wrote the following code:

Code:
if ($SCENE == *.tar) then
echo "tar -xf $SCENE"
tar -xf $SCENE > tar.txt
set dims = `awk '$0' tar.txt`
echo "name of dims is:"
echo "$dims"
endif

My intension is, to write a variable "dims" with the output name of the tar-command. That means, that my variable should be named the same as the input scene, but without the extension ".tar". I tought I could write a temp txt, write the output name in it and read it afterwards, but the way I wrote the code, the tar.txt is empty.


This seems to be a simple problem. Could anybody help me with this?
Thank you!
