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?
just use "--transform='s/:/_/g'", you can turn the colons into whatever
you want.
