Extract a certain file to a certain directory from a tar archive using GNU Tar

Posted on March 15, 2010 by SoCRaT

“gtar -C hobba -xvf aamr.tar aamr/1”

where:

“hobba” is the directory to extract to
“aamr.tar” is the archive from which we’ll extract the file
“aamr/1” is the file inside the archive to be extracted to the destination directory (hobba).
