ptargrep

Find regular expression patterns in one or more tar archive files.

• Search for a pattern within a tar file:

ptargrep "{search_pattern}" {path/to/file}

• Search for a pattern within multiple files:

ptargrep "{search_pattern}" {path/to/file1} {path/to/file2} {path/to/file3}

• Extract to the current directory using the basename of the file from the archive:

ptargrep --basename "{search_pattern}" {path/to/file}

• Search for a case-insensitive pattern matching within a tar file:

ptargrep --ignore-case "{search_pattern}" {path/to/file}
