Question 1

You tin utilise 7-zip to untar the .tar file as well.

Right-click the file
Select 7-nil -> Extract Here / Extract To

Question 2

If you lot can, you can always apply bash for windows and just practise the regular

                                  tar -xvzf <filename.tar.gz>

Question 3

With a latest Windows x (1803+, or 10.0.17063+ for insiders) y'all tin unpack a tar archive just like yous do it in linux:

              cmd.exe -> tar xf annal.tar.gz

Question 4

7-null should work for you. I believe you take to untar the .tar part of the file equally a second footstep after unzipping the .gz role.

You also may need to check your seven-zip settings...

Click Tools → Options
Go to the "Arrangement" tab.
Make certain "tar" and "gz" are checked off.

Question 5

I apply elementary WinRAR extractor to extract .tar.gz file; simply do these steps,

Start extracting the .tar.gz file with WinRAR, it will generate an Intermediate file.
Rename that intermediate file every bit ".tar" and extract it again with WinRAR.

Now second time information technology will excerpt your all files/folders.

Question 6

The 7-zip package comes with a command-line tool called 7z.exe that can pipage to and from stdin (-si) & stdout (-so). And then the post-obit line will practice the extractraction in ane step with no intermediary file (-ttar tells 7-cypher that we're pipage in a tar stream).

                PATH_TO_7ZIP\7z.exe x netlib-0.13.1.tar.gz -and so | PATH_TO_7ZIP\7z.exe x -si -ttar

Question 7

The problem is that when 7-zip uncompresses the tar file into a subdirectory, you lot have to go into the subdirectory in order to uncompress the tar file.

If you've tried to uncompress the subdirectory, it won't work of course.

There are 2 solutions here:

Use 'excerpt hither', not 'Excerpt files...'.
Go into the subdirectory and extract from there.

It doesn't work for me, but I will try to upgrade seven-goose egg to the latest version.

After upgrading 7-Zip from nine.16 to 9.20 it works fine. Thanks.

@Paul, How to do it in i step?

May xvi, 2015 at three:35
@Pacerier - you can't do it in one step using 7-null, since you lot're unpacking 2 filetypes: gzip and tarball. If y'all tin utilize Linux, control line allows one footstep: tar xvfz somefilename.tar.gz. Otherwise cheque out these answers

May 16, 2015 at three:40
@KolobCanyon - right-click the file and select 7-nada->Extract Here/Excerpt To...

in 17.01 you can view files inside the tar.gz archive with ii steps in the gui - just associate the files with your user. You tin also associate rpm & deb files now.

Paul has it correct, but in this instance it's a 2-pace process. First to remove the .gz(decompress the files) and second to remove the .tar(unpack the files).

Could you lot tell united states how to do those steps?

Aug 21, 2015 at nineteen:11
first yous'll demand 7-nothing... 7-zip.org I like to create a folder to place the .tar.gz file into prior to unzipping. Right-click on the file and hover over 7-zip, select "Excerpt Here" to remove the .gz. - now do the same for the newly created .tar file.
