creating a tar archive without including parent directory












52














I am trying to create a graphical program for my script.



Inside the script I use tar to create a tar archive.



From the graphical program I get the full name of file that I want to create a tar archive.



tar -cvf temp.tar /home/username/dir1/dir2/selecteddir


My tar archive includes home, username, dir1, dir2 and selecteddir while i want tar to create archive only including selecteddir.

          You can use the -C option of tar to accomplish this:



          tar -C /home/username/dir1/dir2 -cvf temp.tar selecteddir


          From the man page of tar:



          -C directory
          
         In c and r mode, this changes the directory before adding the following files.  
          
         In x mode, change directories after opening the archive but before extracting 
          
         entries from the archive.

          • @SujitMaharjan you can use dirname to extract everything until "selecteddir" and basename to extract "selecteddir". Try the two commands with the $path as argument.

            Note that you can't use globbing with the -C option. tar -C /home/username/dir1/dir2 -cvf temp.tar '*.csv' won't work.

          There are two methods that you can use to approach this problem.



          The first one, in my opinion, is easier. Simply cd into directory directly above the one you want to compress. In this case it would be dir2.



          $ cd /home/username/dir1/dir2/
          
$ tar -cvf temp.tar selecteddir


          The second way is to use the option --transform which takes a sed expression and runs it against the files names. Note: you will have to escape / in the sed expression.



          $ tar -cvf temp.tar /home/username/dir1/dir2/selecteddir --transform='s//home/username/dir1/dir2///g'

          Actually, I found a problem using Ketan's answer




          tar -C /home/username/dir1/dir2 -cvf temp.tar selecteddir




          When you want to just copy all files just in dir2, just all files then I first come out the idea:




          tar -C /home/username/dir1/dir2 -cvf temp.tar *




          However, when you are not in dir2 directory, it would cause problem since * would tar files in your current diectroy. And I fixed the problem using command below:




           tar -C /home/username/dir1/dir2 -cvf temp.tar ./

            But then your temp.tar archive contains . as a root folder.

          There are two methods that you can use to approach this problem.



          The first one, in my opinion, is easier. Simply cd into directory directly above the one you want to compress. In this case it would be dir2.



          $ cd /home/username/dir1/dir2/
          
$ tar -cvf temp.tar selecteddir


          The second way is to use the option --transform which takes a sed expression and runs it against the files names. Note: you will have to escape / in the sed expression.



          $ tar -cvf temp.tar /home/username/dir1/dir2/selecteddir --transform='s//home/username/dir1/dir2///g'

          • Does the first method need a dot (.) on the end? I tried it without and got: tar: Cowardly refusing to create an empty archive. When I have the dot, it annoyingly makes the root contain a directory named .. So, close but not perfect.

          Actually, I found a problem using Ketan's answer




          tar -C /home/username/dir1/dir2 -cvf temp.tar selecteddir




          When you want to just copy all files just in dir2, just all files then I first come out the idea:




          tar -C /home/username/dir1/dir2 -cvf temp.tar *




          However, when you are not in dir2 directory, it would cause problem since * would tar files in your current diectroy. And I fixed the problem using command below:

          Is this a new Fibonacci Identity?

          Image
          6 1 $begingroup$ I have found the following Fibonacci Identity (and proved it). If $F_n$ denotes the nth Fibonacci Number, we have the following identity begin{equation} F_{n-r+h}F_{n+k+g+1} - F_{n-r+g}F_{n+k+h+1} = (-1)^{n+r+h+1} F_{g-h}F_{k+r+1} end{equation} where $F_1 = F_2 = 1$ , $r leq n$ , $h leq g$ , and $n, g, k in mathbb{N}$ . It is not too hard to show that this identity subsumes Cassini's Identity, Catalan's Identity, Vajda's Idenity, and d'Ocagne's identity to name a few. I have done a pretty thorough literature review, and I have not found anything like this, but I am still wondering if anyone has seen this identity before? I found this by accident after noticing some patterns in some analysis work I was doing, so if this is already known I would be curious to see w...
