tar xvf *.tar or tar xvf filename.tar does work only when there is only one tar file in the folder, if i have more than 1 file and if i have enter a file name manullay all the time it doesn't work out that way.

tar xvf /cuff/source/sources1/abc/*.tar

when i write this command, it does nothing.

but when in abc folder and when i execute tar xvf filename1.tar, it does extract all the files in that tar.

but i can't do it by filename, because i have 100 files
