About tar all file extracted, in my script, i have 2 alternatives:

it works but returns the "test_ok.tar" including the entire path before, instead i want only files included in "/03_ok/", not the subdirectories

2)

returning an error



I also testet this code:

Code:
tar -cvf $dir_05_bck/03_ok_$adesso.tar `cd $dir_03_ok && find $dir_03_ok -name "*.[Cc][Ss][Vv]" -type f -print -prune && cd ..`

but with no luck, because the complete path is still there!
Your requirements aren't clear. You have made some ambiguous statements about what isn't working with the code you've shown us, but you never really stated what set of files you are trying to archive. You haven't said much about your directory structure and you haven't told us what $dir_03_ok expands to. I'm guessing that you just want to archive the *.csv (case insensitive) files in the directory named by $dir_03_ok but want the pathnames in the archive to just be the filenames of the files rather than the absolute pathnames of those files. So, this is a wild guess, but try:
Code:
( cd "$dir_03_ok" && tar -cvf "$dir_05_bck/03_ok_$adesso.tar" `printf "%s\n" *.[Cc][Ss][Vv]` )

or, preferably (if you're using a POSIX compatible shell (like a 1993 or later version of ksh) rather than an old Bourne shell):
Code:
( cd "$dir_03_ok" && tar -cvf "$dir_05_bck/03_ok_$adesso.tar" $(printf "%s\n" *.[Cc][Ss][Vv]) )

bf_tar

BF_TAR(1)																 BF_TAR(1)

NAME

       bf_tar - shell script to write a tar file of a bogofilter directory to stdout

SYNOPSIS

       bf_tar [-r] [-R] bogofilter_directory

DESCRIPTION

       bf_tar bundles a bogofilter working directory in tar format and copies it to standard output (your console, or where you redirect it, see
       EXAMPLES below).

OPTIONS

       The -r option causes bf_tar to remove inactive log files after the archive has been written successfully. The default is to leave log
       files.

       The -R option causes bf_tar to remove inactive log files before the archive is written. This may reduce chances that the resulting archive
       is recoverable should it become damaged. The archive may be smaller though. The default is to leave log files.

EXIT STATUS

       The script exits with status code 0 if everything went well, and nonzero if it encountered trouble.

EXAMPLES

       o  bf_tar ~/.bogofilter > outfile.tar

	  Writes a standard .tar file containing the essential files from ~/.bogofilter to outfile.tar.

       o  bf_tar ~/.bogofilter | gzip -9 -c > outfile.tar.gz

	  Writes a gzipped .tar.gz file containing the essential files from ~/.bogofilter to outfile.tar.gz.

       o  bf_tar `pwd`/mydirectory > outfile.tar

	  Prepend $(pwd)/ or `pwd`/ if you want to specify an absolute path instead of a relative path.

NOTES

       This script is meant for use with Berkeley DB based bogofilter versions.

       This script requires a SUSv2 compliant pax utility.

       This script expects a SUSv2 compliant shell. Solaris systems should have the SUNWxcu4 package installed (when bogofilter is configured) so
       that /usr/xpg4/bin/sh can be used.
