Hi Ehsan,
A minor point, to begin with:
> tarfile=file.tar.gz
[...]
> tar cvf "$tarfile" "$file1" "$file2"
Since your file ends in .gz, you probably meant this:
tar cvfz "$tarfile" "$file1" "$file2"

Ok, here it is:
tar -vxf file.tar.gz --to-command 'gzip -c > $TAR_FILENAME.gz'
See the following link for details:
