Question

I am using jtar-1.1 to try extract files from a tar file, im using the following code to try extract the files

String tarFile = "c:/test/test.tar";
String destFolder = "c:/test/myfiles";

// Create a TarInputStream
TarInputStream tis = new TarInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(tarFile)));
while (( entry = tis.getNextEntry() ) != null) {
        System.out.println( "Extracting: " + entry.getName() );
        int count;
        byte data[] = new byte[BUFFER];

        if (entry.isDirectory()) {
            new File( destFolder + "/" + entry.getName() ).mkdirs();
            continue;
        } else {
            int di = entry.getName().lastIndexOf( '/' );
            if (di != -1) {
                new File( destFolder + "/" + entry.getName().substring( 0, di ) ).mkdirs();
            }
        }

        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream( destFolder + "/" + entry.getName() );
        BufferedOutputStream dest = new BufferedOutputStream( fos );

        while (( count = tis.read( data ) ) != -1) {
            dest.write( data, 0, count );
        }

        dest.flush();
        dest.close();
    }
}

EDIT:

I have edited the code above to check is the entry a directory and once i done this it got rid of the FileNotFound error… the above code now works

I think you need to create the path before opening the FileOutputStream.
