Smart Extraction using DTRX tool in linux
« on: February 12, 2014, 09:30:05 pm »
Hi All,

Just found a tool called Dtrx which intelligently extract all the top compressed formats with a single command. Dtrx stands for  " Do the Right Extraction" . The most special feature of this tool is that this is an Open source software and a best command line application.It's free  8)

The Dtrx application supports major archive formats like tar,zip,rpm,deb,gem,7z,cplo,rar

In debian based system this tool can be installed as follows

#  sudo apt-get install dtrx

In  RHEL/CentOS/Fedora you can install this tool by
# wget http://brettcsmith.org/2007/dtrx/dtrx-7.1.tar.gz

# tar -xvf dtrx-7.1.tar.gz

# cd dtrx-7.1

# python setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local


To extract any archives you can use the following command
# dtrx <archive name >


Try :)
