Is it possible to extract a single file or a list of files from a large tarball such as images.tar instead of extracting the entire tarball? How do I extract specific files under Linux / UNIX operating systems? Thanks in advance ~~ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
