untar a .tar file and exclude one directory

976812Nov 28 2012 — edited Nov 28 2012

How's it going?

I have a tar file and I want to exclude a directory when I untar it but when I use the --exclude option the only thing that gets untarred is the directory I don't want.

I'm sure I'm doing the command incorrectly so any help is appreciated. I'm an AIX guy and new to Solaris so take it easy on me :)

Thanks in advance.
