I wonder how to list content of tar file only down to some level?
I understand "tar tvf mytar.tar" will list all files, but sometimes I wish I can just see directories down to some level.
Similarly for command "ls" how to control the level of subdirectories that will be displayed? By default, it will only show the direct subdirectories, but not further.
Thanks and regards
