I need to execute this tar command *tar xzf dir1/dir2/somefile.tgz --directory=dir1/dir2/*
from within a Go program. I've verified that it works from the command line. I've tried using *argStr := "xzf dir1/dir2/somefile.tgz --directory=dir1/dir2/"output, err := exec.Command("tar", argStr).Output()* but it returns an error code of 2 with no other output indicating what is wrong. Using exec.Command(name, arg) is always a guessing game as to what the command name should be and what the argument should be. How do I execute this tar command from within Go? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
