find c:\Writing\Winbatch -type d | tar -cvf wr.tar -T - --no-recursion okay that's a little better
however some of the folders start with \20... which I think tar expands into ??? actual names... J:\Temp Folders\wbtTemp>find c:\Writing\Winbatch -type d c:\Writing\Winbatch c:\Writing\Winbatch\2007-Tutorial c:\Writing\Winbatch\2007-Tutorial\Access c:\Writing\Winbatch\2007-Tutorial\Excel c:\Writing\Winbatch\2007-Tutorial\MSIE c:\Writing\Winbatch\2007-Tutorial\Web tar finds it as... tar: Cannot add file c:\Writing\WinbatchÇ7-Tutorial: No such file or directory tar: Cannot add file c:\Writing\WinbatchÇ7-Tutorial\Access: No such file or directory tar: Cannot add file c:\Writing\WinbatchÇ7-Tutorial\Excel: No such file or directory tar: Cannot add file c:\Writing\WinbatchÇ7-Tutorial\MSIE: No such file or directory tar: Cannot add file c:\Writing\WinbatchÇ7-Tutorial\Web: No such file or directory Anyway, I'm pretty happy that we can get this far. I'll have to see how tar handles the Extract I did on this folder with all the files. here's a quick -t so most of the files look like they're there. of course I used the UNIX-style path of c:/Writing/* to build it. drwsrwsrwx user/group 0 2008-01-10 11:39 writing/Winbatch/2007- Tutorial/ -rwSrwSrw- user/group 930 2007-09-19 10:41 writing/Winbatch/2007- Tutorial/2007-Winbatch-Tutorial.txt -rwSrwSrw- user/group 43559 2007-10-06 07:22 writing/Winbatch/2007- Tutorial/230265.htm drwsrwsrwx user/group 0 2008-02-23 10:15 writing/Winbatch/2007- Tutorial/Access/ -rwSrwSrw- user/group 1365 2007-10-10 12:30 writing/Winbatch/2007- Tutorial/Access/Acc-Export-Test-1.wbt -rwSrwSrw- user/group 2603 2007-10-06 11:43 writing/Winbatch/2007- Tutorial/Access/Acc-Import-Test-1.wbt
