Hello all, I'm currently working on a web application that involves mounting a drive and extracting a tar.gz file, all in Java. Since the application runs in a linux environment, I figured I'd try using unix commands like "mount" and "tar". Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime(); Process proc; String mountCommand = "mount -t cifs -o u...
What's the best way to create a gzipped tar archive with Ruby? I have a Rails app that needs to create a compressed archive in response to user actions. Ideally, it would be possible to write directly to a compressed file without needing to generate intermediate temp files first. The Ruby Zlib library appears to support direct gzip comp...
This question notes that it is possible to overwrite files when creating a tar archive, and I'm trying to see how to avoid that situation. Normally, I'd use file roller, but the version installed is playing up a bit (using 1.1 Gb of memory), and I'm not the system administrator. I looked at --confirmation and --interactive, but that on...
Does anyone know of any library/code that will enable me to encode and decode .tar formatted data - that I can use in my iPhone project (preferably cocoa) Thanks in advance Craig UPDATE: I've taken a look at the suggested libraries and come to the conclusion that they are making waaaay to much of the problem - so I'm developing the co...
I apologize for any confusion from the question title. It's kind of a complex situation with components that are new to me so I'm unsure of how to describe it succinctly. I have some xml data and an image in an archive (zip in this case, but could easily be tar or tar.gz) and using python, gtk, and webkit, place the image in a webkit.We...
Hi! Is there an as3 solution for extracting file content from uncompressed tar files around? / Jonas ...
I have written a shellscript which tries to pull a tar file from an ftp server and untar it locally. I need to extract specific files from the tar archive. The filename of the tarfile contains a date; I need to be able to select a tar file based on this date. abc_myfile_$date.tar is the format of the file I am pulling from the ftp serve...
PROBLEM: I would like to be able to extract tar.gz files in a single step. This makes my question almost identical to this one: stackoverflow question for tar-gz. My question is almost the same, but not the same, because I would like to do this on windows using 7zip command-line (or something similar) inside a bat file or ruby/perl/pyt...
tar zcvf Test.tar.gz /var/trac/test /var/svn/test So far I have: <target name="archive" depends="init"> <tar compression="gzip" destfile="test.tar.gz"> <tarfileset dir="/"> <include name="/var/trac/test" /> </tarfileset> <tarfileset dir="/"> <include name="/var/trac/svn" /> <...
I've wrote a small cryptographic module in python whose task is to cipher a file and put the result in a tarfile. The original file to encrypt can be quit large, but that's not a problem because my program only need to work with a small block of data at a time, that can be encrypted on the fly and stored. I'm looking for a way to avoid ...
I then to tar and then gzip a list of files in C#. I need some help with how to set the arguments to tar. Say I have tar.exe in a folder c:\tar\tar.exe and a method like the following: private void RunTar(string outputFileName, List<string> fileNamePaths) { using (Process p = new Process()) { p.Star...
Hi, Do you know some library/way in Java to generate tar archive with file names in proper windows national codepage ( for example cp1250 ). I tried with Java tar, example code: final TarEntry entry = new TarEntry( files[i] ); String filename = files[i].getPath().replaceAll( baseDir, "" ); entry.setName( new String( filename.getBytes...
Of course it can be done using exec task, but my question is: Is it possible to do it with tar task? ...
I'm using a Perl script to modify some files inside a .tar, and the directory structure inside the resulting .tar disappears. Eliminating more and more code I've come as far as all that's required to reproduce this is my $data_tar = Archive::Tar->new('data.tar'); $data_tar->write('modified_data.tar'); Both .tar-files have all the file...
As the title says - anyone know of a method to add tar/gzip to the command line in Windows? I've installed Cygwin - but don't know if I have to add something to the PATH env variable to get tar as a cmd option ...
Let me explain what I'm trying to realize: I have a encrypted tar file. I can decrypt it in memory, but obviously I can't write the decrypted data back to hard disk as a real file. The decrypted data is structured as a char* buffer in memory; how can I untar it in memory? I can't find answer with libtar library. I also tried to untar i...
My advisor frequently compiles a bunch of software into his /usr/local and then distributes his /usr/local as a tarball. I then extract the tarball onto our lab machines for our use. Until now, this has worked fine, we just replace the old /usr/local with the contents of the tarball. But I have started installing my own software on thes...
Hi, I have absolutly no idea how to unpack the created archive. I give you the complete Script. A Debian based Distibution named Univention uses this to backup several files in an tar archive. The real archive is packed in an function. The main Content where they create the actual tar file is: cat "$TMPDIR/freeinfo.txt" >> "$TMPDIR/In...
PROBLEM FOUND. I'm leaving the question here, though, in case others run into the same problem I ran into. It looks like I encountered a bug or a weird feature in WinZip 11. When I double click the test2.zip file to see its contents, WinZip tells me the path to the data file is "allcapsname" in lower case, but when WinZip extracts the ...
