I have a function in a powershell script that is supposed to untar my CppUnit.tar.bz2 file. I have installed 7-zip, and in my function I have the following:

Function untar ($targetFile) {        
        $z ="7z.exe"

        $defaultDestinationFolder = 'C:\Program Files\'
        $destinationFolder = (Get-Item $defaultDesitantionFolder).fullname

        $tarbz2Source = $targetFile
        & "$z" x -y $tarbz2Source

        $tarSource = (get-item $targetFile).basename
        & "$z" x -y $tarSource -o $destinationFolder

        Remove-Item $tarSource
}

Running this extracts all the files where I want them, BUT all the files get “,v” as their ending:

Everything is Ok

Can anyone tell me how I can fix this?

    The ,v suffix indicates that these are not the files themselves, but version history files maintained by CVS – each ,v file contains not only the latest version of the file, but the deltas to reconstruct any previous version of the file. The fact that they’re all in an Attic subdirectory indicates that they were all removed via cvs remove at some point. These and the fact that the base directory is cppunit-cvs-repo-archive says you need to treat the unpacked archive as a CVS repository, and use the appropriate tools to check out the files you want to work with, not just “fix” what looks like wrong names…
