Hi All,

I need to extract the tar file into one folder based on original name.
When I try this command, it shows this error;

VB

tar: mytesting201402070230: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

My commands;

tar -cvzf mytesting201402070230.tar.gz mytesting201402070

Used to work with Windows or even DOS, did you? :-)
If this is your current directory, may be tar -cvzf ./mytesting201402070230.tar.gz ./mytesting201402070? Can you see the difference?

I work in DOS actually

I still got the same error

tar: ./mytesting201402070230: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

DOS? Wow! And why do you think that tar is actually installed. If you have tar.exe, provide full path name to it...

I just want to know how to create a folder based on original file name in tar.
Is it can use the common cp

cp mytesting.tar.gz mytesting.

wrong right?

Again, are you using DOS or *NIX? All you say sounds like *NIX. Command interpreter like in *UNIX, or what?

Now, tell us what shell are you using. Or, better, answer this question to yourself. And read documentation on this shell script. You are asking about elementary things. It would be much better if you learn how to read documentation and find out things...
