I need to extract a file,which contains the path to a new path.
sample tar file
tar -tfv class.tar | grep client
-rw------- 0/1 99 Jan 22 12:46 2004 /usr/openv/netbackup/db/class/mariner/clients
-rw------- 0/1 102 Sep 25 11:33 2007 /usr/openv/netbackup/db/class/my-prmtrc01/clients

tar extract to new path 2
found a way to extract a tar ball which contains full path names to files by using pax
i.e.
tar -tfv class.tar
-rw------- 0/1 50 Jan 21 16:01 2004 /usr/openv/netbackup/db/class/wdl-cti/schedule/Monthly/days
-rw------- 0/1 313 Jan 21 16:01 2004 /usr/openv/netbackup/db/class/wdl-cti/schedule/Monthly/info
drw-r-xr-x 0/1 0 Jan 21 16:01 2004 /usr/openv/netbackup/db/class/wdl-cti/schedule/DAILY/


pax -r -f class.tar -s'/usr\/openv\/netbackup\/db\/class\//tmp\/temp\//p'
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/class/wdl-cti/schedule/Monthly/days >> /tmp/temp/wdl-cti/schedule/Monthly/days
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/class/wdl-cti/schedule/Monthly/info >> /tmp/temp/wdl-cti/schedule/Monthly/info
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/class/wdl-cti/schedule/DAILY/ >> /tmp/temp/wdl-cti/schedule/DAILY/


I am not at all familiar with pax. Can anyone provide the syntax to extract just one file and change the path too?
