Extract particular folder from a .tar format files.

Hi All-
I want to extract a particular folder from .tar format files.

For example:
File Name: backup.tar
The backup.tar contains the below folders & files.
1) /root_folder/Folder1/Folder1-1/*
2) /root_folder/Folder1/Folder1-2/*
3) /root_folder/Folder2/Folder2-1/*
4) /root_folder/Folder2/Folder2-2/*
The “tar -xf” command extract 1 to 4 item. But I want to extract ‘Folder1' and their tree only ( 1 - 2 only). Please help me the command.

Thanks
Mani Muthu

NAME
extract_font_range - Extracts a range of characters from a font. Allegro game programming library. SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h> FONT *extract_font_range(FONT *f, int begin, int end) DESCRIPTION
This function extracts a character range from a font and returns a new font that contains only the range of characters selected by this function. You can pass -1 for either the lower or upper bound if you want to select all characters from the start or to the end of the font. Example: FONT *myfont; FONT *capitals; FONT *fontcopy; ... /* Create a font of only capital letters */ capitals = extract_font_range(myfont, 'A', 'Z'); /* Create a copy of the font */ fontcopy = extract_font_range(myfont, -1, -1); ... destroy_font(capitals); destroy_font(fontcopy); RETURN VALUE
Returns a pointer to the new font or NULL on error. Remember that you are responsible for destroying the font when you are finished with it to avoid memory leaks. SEE ALSO
