First of all I don't know whether this is possible. or no. Thought of getting experts thought.
I am having a tar file which contains zipped file in it . I tried individual command with extraction and it worked
I want do unzip -l on the out of tar -tvf and see what are the files in it. Is that is possible which out extracting the tar
Thanks
Arun
Hi arunkumar_mca,
The answer to your question, unfortunately, is no. It is not possible to know the content of the zip files without untarring them first. Regardless of other suggestions.
The tar -tvf will present to you a list of the content in the tar, but that's a list only, not the actual zip file and unzip -l does need to have the zip file to tell you what its content is. Therefore, the only way is to untar (extract the tar) first. And then let unzip -l read the content of it and report to you.
In order to save diskspace and avoid of disk full during
unzip then extract the tar file
is there any tar unzip command would unzip and extract tar at the same time

Hi All,
By accident, i deleted some files. Fortunately I have a backup backup.tar.gz files (750GB). It's too big for me to untar to get the file
Is it possible that i could get the selected files in backup.tar.gz if i know exactly where the files are located.
Thanks.

I have a tar file that contains multiple .Z files. Hence I need to issue a tar command followed by a gzip command to fully extract the files. How do I do it in a single command?
What I'm doing now is
tar xvf a.tar (this will output 1.Z and 2.Z)
gzip -d *.Z (to extract 1.Z and 2.Z) (9 Replies)

cpanplus::internals::extract5.18
CPANPLUS::Internals::Extract(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide CPANPLUS::Internals::Extract(3pm)NAME
CPANPLUS::Internals::Extract - internals for archive extraction
SYNOPSIS
### for source files ###
$self->_gunzip( file => 'foo.gz', output => 'blah.txt' );
### for modules/packages ###
$dir = $self->_extract( module => $modobj,
extractdir => '/some/where' );
DESCRIPTION
CPANPLUS::Internals::Extract extracts compressed files for CPANPLUS. It can do this by either a pure perl solution (preferred) with the
use of "Archive::Tar" and "Compress::Zlib", or with binaries, like "gzip" and "tar".
The flow looks like this:
$cb->_extract
Delegate to Archive::Extract
METHODS
$dir = _extract( module => $modobj, [perl => '/path/to/perl', extractdir => '/path/to/extract/to', prefer_bin => BOOL, verbose => BOOL, force
=> BOOL] )
"_extract" will take a module object and extract it to "extractdir" if provided, or the default location which is obtained from your
config.
The file name is obtained by looking at "$modobj->status->fetch" and will be parsed to see if it's a tar or zip archive.
If it's a zip archive, "__unzip" will be called, otherwise "__untar" will be called. In the unlikely event the file is of neither format,
an error will be thrown.
"_extract" takes the following options:
module
A "CPANPLUS::Module" object. This is required.
extractdir
The directory to extract the archive to. By default this looks something like:
/CPANPLUS_BASE/PERL_VERSION/BUILD/MODULE_NAME
prefer_bin
A flag indicating whether you prefer a pure perl solution, ie "Archive::Tar" or "Archive::Zip" respectively, or a binary solution like
"unzip" and "tar".
perl
The path to the perl executable to use for any perl calls. Also used to determine the build version directory for extraction.
verbose
Specifies whether to be verbose or not. Defaults to your corresponding config entry.
force
Specifies whether to force the extraction or not. Defaults to your corresponding config entry.
All other options are passed on verbatim to "__unzip" or "__untar".
Returns the directory the file was extracted to on success and false on failure.
