tar
|ruby-on-rails
system("tar -czf #{RAILS_ROOT}/tmp/export-result #{RAILS_ROOT}/tmp/export")
When I decompress the resulting file I get
app/c3ec2057-7d3a-40d9-9a9d-d5c3fe3ffd6f/home/tmp/export/and_the_files
I would like to just get:
export_result/and_the_files
How do I change my TAR call to accomplish this?
solution:
system("tar -czf #{RAILS_ROOT}/tmp/export.tgz --directory=#{RAILS_ROOT}/tmp export/")
