To add a file to the zip or tarred file
Hi,

I know how to extract a particular files from the tar content. But, I am not sure, is it possible to do the same in zip.
Also, may i know is there a way to add a file to tar or zip content without extracting them.

From 'man tar'
Code:
       -r, --append
              append files to the end of an archive

From 'man zip' (Zip 2.32 on SuSE 10.3)
Code:
       -g     Grow  (append  to)  the  specified  zip  archive, instead of creating a new one. If this operation fails, zip attempts to
              restore the archive to its original state. If the restoration fails, the archive might become corrupted. This  option  is
              ignored when there's no existing archive or when at least one archive member must be updated or deleted.
