How to unzip a .tar.tar file

Hi ,
I have downloaded jexel api from net. But it come as jexcelapi_2_5_9.tar.tar. i tried to unzip using winzip. But its not working. Can anybody tell how to unzip this?

Winzip knows how to read tar files.
This is just a wild guess, but try this:
- Copy the file, and rename it jexcelapi_2_5_9.tar.gz
- You may have to do this in cmd.exe because the Windows graphical shell often screws up file names
- Then use WinZip on the copy of the file with the new name.
I'm thinking that maybe when you downloaded the file the filename got corrupted.

You can look inside the tar using the 't' command:
tar tvf file.tar And you can untar only one file with:
frits@gateway:~/download$ mkdir t
frits@gateway:~/download$ cd t
frits@gateway:~/download/t$ touch a
frits@gateway:~/download/t$ touch b
frits@gateway:~/download/t$ tar czf ab.tgz *
frits@gateway:~/download/t$ ls
a ab.tgz b
frits@gateway:~/download/t$ tar tzf ab.tgz
a
b
frits@gateway:~/download/t$ rm a
frits@gateway:~/download/t$ ls
ab.tgz b
frits@gateway:~/download/t$ tar xzf ab.tgz a
frits@gateway:~/download/t$ ls
a ab.tgz b
frits@gateway:~/download/t$

Client to unzip tar.gz file on remote webserver

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post my question - sorry.
I was wondering if there is a mac client program to assist in unzipping a tar.gz file on a remote web server.
I know that it can be done using putty, but was hoping that there might be a "cleaner and more usable" solution.
TIA
-jP

Mac has a build-in unzipper.
Just double-click the file.
In case itt does not expand, select the file and type Cmd-I.
Then at +Open with,+ navigate to:
/System/Library/CoreServices/
and choose BOMArchiveHelper
Click +Always open with this application+.

How to extract a .tar.gz file in IBM AIX 6.1

we are in R12.1.3 on IBM AIX 6.1,we took the cold backup of prod Instance using the below command
nohup tar cvf - /u01/oracle/prod/db | gzip > /u01/backup/backup_prod/prod_db.tar.gz &
nohup tar cvf - /u01/oracle/prod/apps | gzip > /u01/backup/backup_prod_8035/prod_apps.tar.gz &
we tried to extrac the above 2 .tar.gz files on the same server using below commands, they are extracting on source location i.e /u01/oracle/prod/db.so original files getting updated with old one
cd /u01/backup/backup_prod_8035
$gunzip < prod_apps.tar.gz | tar xvf -
$gunzip < prod_db.tar.gz | tar xvf -
Please let me know how to extract this files in the same folder with out affecting the original files
Thanks in advance

Helios,
Thank you very much for your reply
Is it possible to do both gzip and tar -xvf in single commnd because we don't have that much space on the server
when we execute gzip -d /u01/backup/backup_prod/prod_db.tar.gz it will create file as prod_db.tar again we need to execute
tar -xvf /u01/backup/backup_prod/prod_db.tar
In the above command either we need to give . to untar the files in the same directory same like Linux.
With out . in aix the untar files are over riding on source location i.e /u01/erp/prod
Please advice

How Unpacking a tar.gz file in unix?

Please...help me....i know that it is no a unix forum...but i don't know how reach it....and i wish to unUnpacking a tar.gz file in unix that are some java programs....
Thanks a lot...
Mary

Depends on which unix you are talking about.
tar -zxf file works on Linux and a few other variants
If your variant cannot handle the z (zip, compressed) flag then you have to do it in two steps
gzip -d file
then
tar -xf file
Note that after the first step the file will remove the .gz extension because it has been decompressed
Cheers

Cannot untar a tar zip file

I'm initially a linux user, now trying to chnage to solaris server. I found a problem untaring a tar zip file. There is no command 'gzip' or 'gunzip' in my solaris server. And for the tar command, there is no option '-z'. So, how can I untar and unzip a tar zip file?

Hi ,
What Solaris Version you are using? On www.sunfreeware.com site, once you choose correct operating system version you may see all utilities on right side at bottom. There are some in pkgadd format.
e.g gzip 1.2.4-sol26-sparc-local is in pkgadd format for Solaris 2.6.
You will find similar files for Sparc/Intel for all vesions.
Download same.
#pkgadd -d gzip 1.2.4-sol26-sparc-local
This will install all you needed. I hope this will help you.
Thanks,
SdD

Downloading .tar.bz2 files ...

... why in **** does Safari add another .tar to .tar.bz2 files, and how do I stop it? Many thanks for the person who knows this one.
-peter

Hi,
It's probably due to the mime encoding specified on the server side - Safari tends to believe what it's told.
Assuming you're getting the file from wireshark.org, that download is reported as 'Content-Type: application/x-tar'
(Compare that to the gzipped tar file there which is correctly defined as 'application/x-gzip')

Extracting tar.bz2 files.

How can i extract tar.bz2 files?. zip, jar, tar can be extracted within java. But how tar.bz2?.

Some tars have built-in knowledge of the bz2 (bunzip) compression format.
Tar ("tape archive") is to package several files in one archive or to extract them. The archive files can be called "*.tar".

Uncompress a .tar.gz file from in java

I need to unconpress a .tar.gz file from my Java program. Does anyone have any information on how I might go about this? I was not able to use the java.util.zip package since it does not recognize the file format.
Do I have to use Runtime and run some external program. If so does anyone know of a freeware zip utility that works on the commandline and uncompresses a .tar.gz file.
Thanks,
Cog

Reading contents of tar.gz file programatically

Hi,
I have a file explorer type application, where I want the user to be able to double click on the tar.gz file and see the contents of the tar archive inside the .gz file.
Of course, we dont want to have to extract the entire .gz file first. But it seems that the only way to read a .gz file is to use GZIPInputStream and if we through that, we will end up extracting the entire file.
So can anyone tell me how to go about doing this?

Hi,
yes you're right. It's quite tricky sometimes to get what you need from a GZip file.
What I found out today worked greatly.
First of all, you need to get Apache Ant and inside the ant.jar file you'll locate the TAR package under tools (org.apache.tools.tar)
So:
1) Create a GZIPInputStream from the file (java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream)
2) read the file entirely, coping it using a FileOutputStream
3) In point 2, you created a tar file, you can read it with TarInputStream in org.apache.tools.tar TarInputStream.
4) Get the entry you look for with TarEntry using
- TarInputStream ts = new TarInputStream(file);
- while (true){
TarEntry t = ts.getNextEntry();
if (tgetName().equals("myEntry")){
//use ts to read this entry
ts.read (buffer, 0, buffer.length)
5) You have the unpacked Gzip entry where you want. Enjoy!
