Not working
I can't get this to work
I tried to tar|gzip an archive using the built in script:
The result was archive.tar.bzip2
I can open this with windows 7-zip fine.
Then I try the script mentioned above to untar|zip it using this:
I get the following error:
I tried to tar|gzip an archive using the built in script:
tar -c -j -f "!?&Archive Name:?archive.tar.bzip2!" !&
The result was archive.tar.bzip2
I can open this with windows 7-zip fine.
Then I try the script mentioned above to untar|zip it using this:
tar -xvzf --directory="!?&Extract to which directory:?.!" "!"
I get the following error:
Command 'tar -xvzf --directory="." "archive.tar.bzip2"'
failed with return code 2 and error message

tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Re: Commands to Decompress TGZ archive

Re: Commands to Decompress TGZ archive
There should be some switch before the destination path, should not? Like:
tar -xvzf --directory="!?&Extract to which directory:?.!" "!"

Commands to Decompress TGZ archive
Extract to current directory:
Extract with Prompt for target directory:
The prompt is set to default to the current directory, but I'm not sure the syntax is correct because it's not working when I specify a "." for the current directory. Maybe I'm missing something?
