tar command
 

Hi,

How can I extract a .tgz file?

Is it same as tar?

I tried tar -xfz XXX.tgz, but failed.

Any idea?

:confused:

what was the error it gave you if any, cause that seems right to me on what you tried...

did you try the correct path and correct filename?? not to make it so it sounds stupid, but once i was untarring a file, it kept saying it didn't exist and i was dumbfounded when i was forgetting a dash ( - ) in it... :)

tgz is short for tar.gz

Use tar xvzf filename.tgz

that would be:

tar -zxf yourfile.tgz

It is necesary that yourfile.tgz follows right after the f parameter.....

Thanks a lot for all of your help. I can tar it now.
