Full Discussion: Searching a file inside a .tar.gz file by date
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Searching a file inside a .tar.gz file by date Post 302864069 by erin00 on Tuesday 15th of October 2013 09:00:39 PM
Old 10-15-2013
BTW, the content of the files inside this archive contains the date the file was created.

what if I have to search for a file/s inside it by date?

Code:
gunzip -c file.tar.gz | tar tvf - | grep filename

How do I follow this up to search the file/s with a specific filename with a specific date that file was created?

And also, I know this is incorrect, but how do I make this right:

Code:
gunzip -c file.tar.gz | tar tvf - | grep filename -exec cp {} /home/myhome \;

Thanks!
