in reply to Search in the .tgz file without unpack and untar
IIRC, you could try the above with wildcards as well, e.g.zcat foo.tgz | tar -xvf - some/wanted/file/path
The above should facilitate the extraction of all files having date as a prefixzcat foo.tgz | tar -xvf - some/wanted/file/path/date*
