In any *nix operating system (including all
versions of Linux), you can use the redirect
symbol ">" to send the contents of any command
that would normally print its out put to the
screen, into a file instead. Thus:
tar -ztvf packagename.tgz > packagename.contents
("packagename.contents" is an example name --
you can call the output file anything you like.)
-monz
