    Default command line tar.bz2

    hi are there any command line tar.bz2 extractors im sure there is one may one link it?? im on winxp...

    im needy wen it comes to pure command line... i like clean installs only



    edit here

    for future reference you must use the 7za command twice in the tar file..... once for the .bz2 then for the tar....

    i got confused i thought it spit out a corrupted file lol

    command in winxp is ////////////>>>>>>>7za x file.tar.bz2 -oc:\folder
    then after once again but this time you extract the file thats in the folder
    >>>>>>>>7za x file.tar -oc:\folder


    and there ya have it answering my own question well ill just leave this for anybody who cares
    some good reference

    7z should work...

    Code:
    tar -xavf file.tar.bz2
    Above works for .tar.gz as well.

    dont you need to begin the command with 7za? or the name of the application in the directory? in this case i have 7za and it has switches and stuff the -o means output directory and the x is extract with full paths... other then that i do not comply

    on linux, use tar (cjf). On windows, there is 7zip.
