Tar cannot be used to extract zip files. It can, however, be used to extract tar archives *compressed with zip command*, provided that certain conditions are met (see below). > tar --strip-components 3 -xzf /tmp/${lang_file} This command can succeed only if: 1) /tmp/${lang_file} is a valid tar archive compressed with zip and 2) It (zip file, not the archive) contains only one entry. In other words, "unzip -l /tmp/${lang_file} | tail -n 1" shows something like: 522240 1 file Regards, Sergey
