I would like to untar an archive e.g. "tar123.tar.gz" to directory /myunzip/tar123/" using a shell command.
tar -xf tar123.tar.gz will decompress the files but in the same directory as where I'm working in.
If the filename would be "tar233.tar.gz" I want it to be decompressed to /myunzip/tar233.tar.gz" so destination directory would be based on the filename.
Does anyone know if the tar command can do this?

Simply right-click the item you want to compress, mouseover compress, and choose tar. gz. You can also right-click a tar. gz file, mouseover extract, and select an option to unpack the archive.
tar -xzvf filename.tar.gz -C destination_directory If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
