this is the script I'm running

tar tf some.tar somefolder_insidetar

And output it's a list with all folders, files, and SUBDIRECTORY Files, the only thing I need it's just show the contents (folder and files) of the current directory choosed, not listing subdirectory files, or subdirectories inside subdirectories

Check this post, looks similar to what you are asking Listing the content of a tar file or a directory only down to some level

Just exclude the subdirectories with grep -v:

tar  tvzf ../xrick-021212.tgz xrick-021212 | grep -v 'xrick-021212/.*/'

What i want to exclude are FILES inside subdirectories, just show current folder files & directories – Jesus David Gulfo Agudelo Jun 16 '11 at 20:57
@Jesus: then add a dot at the end, to prevent the exclusion of subdirectories. – ninjalj Jun 16 '11 at 21:08
