All-- I'm trying to get a clear answer on this one. I have a gzipped tar file from a customer that was originated on Unix. Inside the tar.gz are a series of files that look something like this:
systemlog_071607_09:25.log systemlog_071607_10:07.log etc... Basically, as per their log file naming method, they used a colon to separate hours from minutes--terrible, I know, but it's what I have to work with. When the cygwin tar recognizes this, due to Windows restrictions, the output file is not properly extracted. I Googled around and found options for --force-file and http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-01/msg01536.html this link , but I still can't get this to work properly. I am able to get the files extracted if I use WinRAR (it converts : to _ on extract), but I'd prefer to do this from the shell since I can automate this more readily. Any ideas how I can do this? ~~Thanks much~~ -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Unix-tar-file-with-colons-in-archived-file-names-tf4111986.html#a11692093 Sent from the Cygwin Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
