Hello, I'm trying to extract the files from 108 .tar archives located in a single directory.
The tar info page says that tar can't handle a wildcard like * or ? by itself; it says that preceding the * or ? with a backslash or enclosing the argument in quotes usually works. But neither tar -xvf \*.tar nor tar -xvf "*.tar" does the trick for me. Does anyone know how to extract multiple archives with a single command, or is this just something tar can't do? Thanks for any leads. Drew Poulin -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
