hi are there any command line tar.bz2 extractors im sure there is one may one link it?? im on winxp…

im needy wen it comes to pure command line… i like clean installs only



edit here

for future reference you must use the 7za command twice in the tar file….. once for the .bz2 then for the tar….

i got confused i thought it spit out a corrupted file lol

command in winxp is ////////////>>>>>>>7za x file.tar.bz2 -oc:\folder
then after once again but this time you extract the file thats in the folder
>>>>>>>>7za x file.tar -oc:\folder


and there ya have it answering my own question well ill just leave this for anybody who cares
some good reference

tar xfj foo.tar.bz2

linux sex?

7z should work…

tar -xavf file.tar.bz2

Above works for .tar.gz as well.

dont you need to begin the command with 7za? or the name of the application in the directory? in this case i have 7za and it has switches and stuff the -o means output directory and the x is extract with full paths… other then that i do not comply

on linux, use tar (cjf). On windows, there is 7zip.
