[erlang-questions] Tar Without Paths?

[Anthony Molinaro]

Hi,

I haven’t tested it but erl_tar:add/3,4 have a way to specify the NameInTar when adding a file.

 http://erlang.org/doc/man/erl_tar.html#add-3

HTH,

-Anthony

Right now, every add or create adds files with their full path, so when they are extracted, they come in the form of “/home/wiget/server/files_to_tar/file1.txt instead of files_to_tar/file.txt. The only options in the man pages are irrelevant to my issue, so I assume there is some way around this. If anyone has found a way, I would greatly appreciate your insight!
