Hi all, I am writing a simple shell script to compare two archives, in zip/tar/tgz format. I untar the two arhives in 2 separate folders in /tmp directory and compare them using the diff program. when I untar the first archive, it gets untarred to the destination directory. But the second archive doesn't get untarred to the destination. Here is the code snippet.
tar -xzf "$FILE1" -C "$TEMP_DIR1" tar -xzf "$FILE2" -C "$TEMP_DIR2" diff -r "$TEMP_DIR1" "$TEMP_DIR2" Does -C option to tar giving problems ???? And the erros are, tar (child): : Cannot open: No such file or directory tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now tar: Child returned status 2 TIA, Any ideas ? - KD __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
