Readers,
I tried without success the following command syntax
tar --extract --file=/path/to/tarball < /path/to/list/of/files.txt
To my surprise this failed. If the 'files.txt' contained:
text1 text2 text3
The command syntax is successful for:
tar --extract --file=/path/to/tarball text1 text2 text3
Is there a reason why redirect does not work with tar command?
Thanks.
