Hello

I would like to know if it's possible to transfer a file from one tar
archive to another (without untarring it on the disk)

For example , I have a 2GB dir in a TAR archive and I want to transfer a
subdir of 1GB to another TAR file. I don't have 1GB free on my disk .
Can Tar handle this ?

Best regards
wattazoum
