Hello all, never had tar refuse to extract a directory from an archive before. tar archive is: htdocs.1201.tar.gz tar tzf htdocs.1201.tar.gz | grep standrewsglenwood ...shows a list of files contained within the archived dir: htdocs/standrewsglenwood/<many whatevers> yet the command: tar xzf htdocs.1201.tar.gz htdocs/standrewsglenwood ...extracts nothing. I've tried an individual file in that dir with no success. I've tried other files and dirs with no success. ?? Glenn.
