Find regular expression patterns in one or more tar archive files. More information: <https://manned.org/ptargrep>.

  • Search for a pattern within a tar file:
    ptargrep "search_pattern" path/to/file
  • Search for a pattern within multiple files:
    ptargrep "search_pattern" path/to/file1 path/to/file2 path/to/file3
  • Extract to the current directory using the basename of the file from the archive:
    ptargrep --basename "search_pattern" path/to/file
  • Search for a case-insensitive pattern matching within a tar file:
    ptargrep --ignore-case "search_pattern" path/to/file
