TarSeeker

Recursive seeker for tar archives. It supports bz2 and gzip compression formats.

Installation

This project use Maven in order to stay up to date with all dependencies so, if you don't have Maven installed on your system I reccomend to download it and follow the instruction reported in the installation page of Maven and install it on your system.
When you have correctly installed Maven on your system, you can proceed with the steps described below:

1. Download the zip package
2. Unpack the folder contained in the zip archive
3. Go inside the tarseeker folder
4. Type mvn package and wait for the process to end
5. Go inside the newly created target folder
6. You will see two jar files; the "ready to go" file is the one without the -tmp suffix

Usage

Typical usage:
java -jar TarSeeker-[verison_number].jar -i /path/to/the/input/file.tar -o /path/to/the/output/file.txt -e -f txt
The command above will seek for each txt file inside the input file and saves them in a single file called file.txt.
