tar command to explore multiple layers of tar and tar.gz files
Hi all,
I have a tar file and inside that tar file is a folder with additional tar.gz files. What I want to do is look inside the first tar file and then find the second tar file I'm looking for, look inside that tar.gz file to find a certain directory. I'm encountering issues by trying to look inside two tar files are once.
The tar file is structured as follows:
So far for code I have:
The first two commands (tar tf and grep) work correctly however I am unable to get the third command to run correctly. It tells me the directory does not exist and I believe this is because tar tf only lists what is inside that directory and therefore after executing the file the first time I lose List_of_tests.tar from the path and the path simply starts with These_are_the_tests/....
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi All,
There 2 files in the folder /temp/tst/
1.txt
2.txt
When I run the command
find /temp/tst \( -name "*.txt" \) -exec tar cf /temp/123.tar {} \;

find /temp/tst \( -name "*.txt"... (1 Reply)

I would like to confirm my file.tar is been tar-ed correctly before I remove them. But I have very limited disc space to untar it.
Can I just do the listing instead of actual extract it? Can I say confirm folder integrity if the listing is sucessful without problem?
