Hi list, I've googled to search an aswer but no one match mine. I want to tar all files on a directory without include any other directory, I've tried with --exclude but no hope, any suggestion ??? Thanks...
I dom something similar to what you ask. What I do is tar a directory and all it's contense EXCEPT one diectory. It goes something like this:
tar -zcf name.tgz --exclude MP3 dirname/
Explanation:
I'm tarring a dir. and excluding the dir MP3 and it's files. I'm sure you will be able to expand on this.
Use man tar to see all the switches.
Sounds find, but wouldn't
$tar /home/foo/*
get this job done without including subdirs, since there's no -R involved?
I read the OP's question as "I want to tar all the files in a directory without including any other directories..." which would mean "any (sub)directories within the directory would not be placed in the tarball", right?
