Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Loading a tar file into the shell script Post 302591018 by wini008 on Wednesday 18th of January 2012 09:10:07 AM

Hi All,

Thanks for your response.

I tried with "gzcat" command, but i am still facing the same issue.

The modified shell script is as follows:
Code:
#----Start Of The Modified Script------
File_Load=`gzcat sample.tar.gz`

echo "$File_Load" > New_Sample.tar.gz
tar -xvf New_Sample.tar.gz
#----End Of The Modified Script--------

There is no directory/file created after extracting New_Sample.tar.gz. The gzcat command is printing only the ascii contents of the file. Its not converting binary contents to ascii. Is there any other way to load a small binary file(like tar file) contents into the variable of the shell script so that the new variable contents can be directed to a new-file and that new-file acts as previous binary file.

NOTE: Need to be implemented without using cp command.

Thanks & Regards,
vinay

BUNDLE(1)						      General Commands Manual							 BUNDLE(1)

NAME
bundle - collect files for distribution SYNOPSIS
bundle file ... DESCRIPTION
Bundle writes on its standard output a shell script for rc(1) or a Bourne shell which, when executed, will recreate the original files. Its main use is for distributing small numbers of text files by mail(1). Although less refined than standard archives from ar(1) or tar(1), a bundle file is self-documenting and complete; little preparation is required on the receiving machine. EXAMPLES
bundle mkfile *.[ch] | mail kremvax!boris Send a makefile to Boris together with related and files. Upon receiving the mail, Boris may save the file sans postmark, say in gift/horse, then do cd gift; rc horse; mk SOURCE
/rc/bin/bundle SEE ALSO
ar(1), tar(1), mail(1) BUGS
Bundle will not create directories and is unsatisfactory for non-text files. Beware of gift horses. BUNDLE(1)
