tar question

[chloe K]

Thank you 
  it works
   
  how about untar
   
  tar cvf file.tar -T selectfile.txt
   
  inside the selectfile.txt
   
  eg:
   
  /var/www/html/version3/abc.html
  /var/www/html/version3/image/abc.jpg
  /var/www/html/version3/cgi-bin/abc.cgi
   
   
  how can I untar it
   
  as all inside in /var/www/html instead of /var/www/html/version3
   
  Thank you again

Check out the -T or --files-from= option.
Something like: (Double check the syntax!)

tar zcv -T file.txt -f elect-file.tar.gz

You will probable find the tar info file more helpful then the tar
man page.
