Hi, Norton on windows found a virus within a .tar'd backup of mail that I made. It gives me the complete file name. Can I do
tar --delete <filename> file.tar
to get rid of that file within the archive or am I reading man tar totally wrong?
Why don't you make a tar-archive of some bogus files, and see if it works as expected. Much better to confirm yourself than to rely on us wrt. to deleting files. -- Mads Martin Jørgensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort?" -- A.
