> I am using Cygwin64. I am getting a file from RedHat in tar + zip format. > Currently I am able to unzip it and untar it in 2 steps as follows: > $gunzip mytar.gz > $tar xvf mytar > However, I would like to do the following: > $tar -zxvf mytar.gz > The error message I see is: > tar: This does not look like a tar archive > tar: Skipping to next header > tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors > Can someone please tell me what is the right way? tar xvf mytar.gz I.e. drop filter spec. tar is smart enough to detect and apply known filters automatically. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Monday, April 20, 2015 22:23:58 Sorry for my terrible english...
