Looking for the right tar command (unix)

[joomlaguy]

I have a tar archive with (as example) the following files in it:

rene
rene/index.html
rene/test.html
rene/plaatje.jpg
rene/bestanden
rene/bestanden/test.jpg
rene/bestanden/index.html

I'm looking for the right tar command to extra just the index.html files with their full file path, so in my example:

rene/index.html
rene/bestanden/index.html

Is this possible with tar?

Thanks in advance.

You can specify the filename on the commandline with wildcards. So, for example if your tar archive was named rene.tar, the command to just extract the index.html files in the correct paths would be:

tar xf rene.tar *index.html*
