[Wolves] Tar without directory structure

[chris procter]

cd /home/test/campics/;tar -cf
/home/test/campics/images.tar
/home/test/campics/*.jpeg

(all on one line) should work or

tar -cf home/test/campics/images.tar -C
/home/test/campics/ -- `ls /home/test/campics/ | grep
.jpeg`

should also work, try em out see which one you prefer.
