unix - Read Contents of file inside xar file using the command line -
i trying read contents of file inside xar file without extracting them using command line.
when run command,
xar -tf filename.xar | grep -i 'info'
it list file after.
but when try read contents of file using,
cat `xar -tf filename.xar | grep -i 'info'`
i error message saying cat: filename: no such file or directory
you on right track problem using cat try , read file hasn't been extracted archive. need extract archive first before can read contents. use code extracts file reads 'info' file:
xar -xf filename.xar; cat `xar -tf filename.xar | grep -i 'info'`
hope helps :d (u add code @ end delete added extracted files)
