hello all,

Good morning! I'm having a problem with tar extraction. I have a tar
file that contains the following

/abc/file1.txt
/def/file2.txt

and I want to extract the files but it doesn't allow me to since this
would be extracting in the root directory and that directory hasn't
been created yet. Is it possible to just extract the files? and put
them in a separate directory override what is on the tar file?

thanks!

melissa
