Hi there, I am very new to unix and having trouble with a fairly simple statement:

Hello. I have a clean-up script that deletes > 5days old files on /archive/idocs directory. This script runs twice a week, Tuesday and Friday.

I have the following bash script:

tar -zxvf $1 cd $1

It should extract the archive file and enter the directory that was created. Typically, package archive file creates directory with the same name, as the file, without extension, for example, mpc-1.0.1.tar.gz creates mpc-1.0.1 directory. How can I change the line cd $1 to get directory name?

I'm trying to extract a tar archive to a specific directory. I've tried using -C flag but it doesn't work as expected.
