Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: UNIX OT: exclude files in tar
Just another excuse to read the tar man page. This series of commands seamed to work in testing. Note the "excluded" and "OK" on the tar command output. As the tar man page states, be careful on the leading and trailing spaces in the exclude file. As with most Unix commands, DON'T use a "-" in the exclude file name, doing so will lead you to question your own sanity when things just don't seam to work right.

Please respond to
ORACLE-L
Hello,
On Solaris 8
I can't seem to get the tar command right. I wanted to tar a directory but
EXCLUDE one of the subdirectory in it.
Example:
/home/user01
/home/user01/mark01
/home/user01/mark01/ask.txt
/home/user01/mark01/ghost.txt
/home/user01/mark02
/home/user01/mark02/ask.txt
/home/user01/mark02/ghost.txt
/home/user01/mark03
/home/user01/mark03/ask.txt
/home/user01/mark03/ghost.txt
I wanted to tar everything except /home/user01/mark03/* man pages on tar says there is an option to exclude files but I just can't get it to work for me.
Can someone show me how to do this right?
Thanks,
Ross
