How To extract a single file from an archive
To extract a single file from an archive, do the following:
# tar zxf archfile.tgz –include=”filetoextract”
You can use patterns as well:
# tar zxf archfile.tgz –include=”filetoextract*”
‘filetoextract’ should contain the full path.
To check file’s full path, do the following:

Quote of the day
We shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and the oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.
