[SOLVED] tar -tf down.tar.How to avoid listing subfolders is down.tar

e3399 · 11-25-2010, 03:28 AM

Fox example,there are

files/
./files/sdo.html
./files/color25.png
./files/base.css

in down.tar.
But I don't want to list contents of the folder "files".I just want to list the contents of down.tar without subfolders or anything else that's inside contents.

Anything help would be appreciate!!Thank you.

Using tar options might be a bit complicate, as in

Code:

tar tf down.tar --no-recursion --no-wildcards-match-slash --anchored '*/'

Please, see the GNU tar manual here for details. In alternative you can exclude the unwanted lines using grep, e.g.

Code:

tar tf down.tar | grep -E -x '[^/]+/$'

Hope this helps.
