 | I've been using tar for windows for some time now and I have seemed to
hit a limitation. I am unable to extract an archieve from a shared
network drive to a local directory from the command line. I run this
command in a VB script that is executed from the r: drive.
I am attempting the following:
r:\>tar -x -C /C:/temp/client --file c:/apps/client/client.tar
I know there is a syntax problem here but I can't seem to find any
helpful information pertaining to switching drives.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in Advance,
MB

Well, first of all most slashes should be backslashes in a DOS/Windows
environment. Next, what is the slash in front of 'C:' doing there?
You don't specify which tar port you're using so I assume it's
. Perhaps this works:
tar -x -C c:\temp\client -f c:\apps\client\client.tar
