All--
I'm trying to get a clear answer on this one. I have a gzipped tar file
from a customer that was originated on Unix. Inside the tar.gz are a series
of files that look something like this:
systemlog_071607_09:25.log
systemlog_071607_10:07.log
etc...
Basically, as per their log file naming method, they used a colon to
separate hours from minutes--terrible, I know, but it's what I have to work
with.
When the cygwin tar recognizes this, due to Windows restrictions, the output
file is not properly extracted. I Googled around and found options for
--force-file and http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-01/msg01536.html this
link , but I still can't get this to work properly.
I am able to get the files extracted if I use WinRAR (it converts : to _ on
extract), but I'd prefer to do this from the shell since I can automate this
more readily. Any ideas how I can do this?
~~Thanks much~~
If you only need to access the results with Cygwin tools, you can use
managed mounts. See the email archives for more discussion/details.
