foo/
bar/
baz/
file1.png
What (GNU) tar options do I have to use to extract the file 'file1.png'
to ~/tmp without the directory hierarchy 'foo/bar/baz'?
Something like:
$ tar zx ~/tmp/file1.png f foo.tar.gz #This does not work...
Should produce:
~/tmp/
file1.png
Any thoughts?
TIA,
Erik.

I already answered this on comp.os.linux.misc
Don't multipost, if you think your post is relevant for several
newsgroups crosspost (to a small number) instead.
Multipost == posting identical messages to several groups
Crosspost == ONE post that shows up in several newsgroups, replies will
show up in all the groups not just in the one where the reply was made.

1. tar question: how do I extract some files without extracting directories
For example, if I have foo.tar.gz consisting of:
foo/
bar/
baz/
file1.png
What (GNU) tar options do I have to use to extract the file 'file1.png'
to ~/tmp without the directory hierarchy 'foo/bar/baz'?
Something like:
$ tar zx ~/tmp/file1.png f foo.tar.gz #This does not work...
Should produce:
~/tmp/
file1.png
Any thoughts?
TIA,
Erik.
