linux command to unzip tar.gz file

I want to create a script for unzip (.tar.gz) file via (Python)

location: linuxexchange.com - date: June 17, 2015
I am trying to make a script for unzipping all the .tar.gz files from folders in one directory. For example, I will have a file which it calls ( testing.tar.gz). Then if I do manually, I can press to "extract here" then the .tar.gz file will create a new file, and it calls testing.tar. Finally, if I repeat the process of pressing "extract here", the .tar file prodcudes me all the .pdf files. I wonder that how can I do it, and I have my code here and it seems doesn't realty work tho. import os import tarfile import zipfile def extract_file(path, to_directory='.'): if path.endswith('.zip'): opener, mode = zipfile.ZipFile, 'r' elif path.endswith('.tar.gz') or path.endswith('.tgz'): opener, mode = tarfile.open, 'r:gz' elif path.endswith('.tar.bz2') or path.endswith('.tbz'): opener, mode = tarfile.open, 'r:bz2' else: raise ValueError, "Could not extract `%s` as no appropriate extractor is found" % path cwd = os.getcwd() os.chdir(t

Merge some parts of a split tar.gz file Linux command

I have a large tar.gz file (approximately 63 GB) on a linux server. This file has about 1000 compressed csv files. I need to save the data of csv files in a database. I can't extract whole file in one go due to limited space on the server. So I split the tar.gz file into 5 parts (4 parts of 15 GB and 1 of 3GB) but did not merge all of them as the server won't have any space left when extraction would be done. I merged the first two parts to make a new tar.gz file and extracted the csv files from that. When I tried to merge the last 3 parts, it did not make a valid tar.gz file and that file could not be extracted. This problem was not because of server space because I deleted the files that were no longer required after extraction from first two parts. Is there any way through which the last 3 parts of the split tar.gz file can be merged in a valid tar.gz format and then extracted? Command used to split : split -b 15G file.tar.gz parts Command used to merge : cat parts* > c

Dear, Finally, after the 4th attempt to register on these forums, it worked and got the activitation mail, but that wasnt much, compared to the agony before =[ So, after about 24 houres of getting used to ubuntu, I decided I wanted to install zend studio 7.1.2, downloaded the linux version (.tar.gz) for 64 bit desktops (running 64bit ubuntu). Here's when the fun started. Since I had no clue how to install it (no double click.. then it wanted to unpack), i decided google would be a good way to go. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/install-tarballs/ was the first link i found This however, did not agree with me. I chmodded my Desktop folder to 777 -R, just incase. Still nothing. names of the files on desktop: 'zendstudio.tar.gz' 'ZendStudio-7.2.1-x86_64.bin' 'zendstudio.bin' and other non-related crap. tried to following: Code: ~$ pwd /home/myname ~$ cd /home/myname/Desktop ~/Desktop$ tar zxf zendstudio.tar.gz :~/Desktop$ ./configure bash: ./configure: No such file or director

I am using LInux Mint 11 as Live Cd and wanted to install flash plugin from Adobe. I downloaded the file as tar.gz and as rpm and extracted it, What else should I do ? Even after extraction the site I was trying to view doesn't work and gives me the message that plugins are required. Am I doing things right? Or do I have to go to the terminal and type out some commands? If so what should I type?

I did a command-line installation. I dont have an ethernet connection, only wireless. For some reason the alternate installer doesnt install "wireless-tools" How do install it? At this point I am thinking of botting off a live USB, downloading the wireless-tolls package from here Save it to a folder in the command line installation (where?) then boot back into command line and install from there But I am not that savvy with command lines, and dont know where to install to... thoughts?
