Extracting file from .tar.gz file
Hi,
I receive a huge .tar.gz file that may reach gega's , and i try as much as i can to avoid disk space issues
Is there a way to extract from such a big file withought the need to decompress the file? given that i know the filesnames format that i will need to extract from the tar file: they are start with 'D' and end with 'T' , for e.g D1fdS34T
My big issue is the need to decompress first as it eats the space !
Thanks in advance,
Eman El Badawy
