All--
I'm trying to get a clear answer on this one. I have a gzipped tar file from a customer that was originated on Unix. Inside the tar.gz are a series of files that look something like this:
systemlog_071607_09:25.log systemlog_071607_10:07.log
etc...
Basically, as per their log file naming method, they used a colon to separate hours from minutes--terrible, I know, but it's what I have to work with.
When the cygwin tar recognizes this, due to Windows restrictions, the output file is not properly extracted. I Googled around and found options for --force-file and http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-01/msg01536.html this link , but I still can't get this to work properly.
I am able to get the files extracted if I use WinRAR (it converts : to _ on extract), but I'd prefer to do this from the shell since I can automate this more readily. Any ideas how I can do this?
~~Thanks much~~
If you only need to access the results with Cygwin tools, you can use managed mounts. See the email archives for more discussion/details.
