I have a file that contain list of files I want to archive with tar.
Let's call it mylist.txt
It contains:
/path1/path2/file1.txt
/path1/path2/file3.txt
...
/path1/path2/file10.txt
What I want to do is to archive this file into a tarball but excluding /path1/path2/.
Currently by doing this:
tar -cvf allfiles.tar -T mylist.txt
preserves the path after unarchiving.
I tried this but won't work too:
tar -cvf -C /path1/path2 allfiles.tar -T mylist.txt
It archives all the files in /path1/path2 even those which are not in mylist.txt
Is there a way to do it?
In your "Extraction phase" you can use the strip-components flag like
tar xvf tarname.tar --strip-components=n
which will remove the first n leading components of the file name. Although if you have different file-path-components this will not work for all cases.
If you want to do it while archiving, only one thing comes to mind, and I will share
INPUT: list of files + full paths
1) for each line, split the path out of the filename
2) execute cd to that path and tar on that filename
3) repeat for each line
