Hi Ehsan,

A minor point, to begin with:

> tarfile=file.tar.gz
[...]
> tar cvf "$tarfile" "$file1" "$file2"

Since your file ends in .gz, you probably meant this:

  tar cvfz "$tarfile" "$file1" "$file2"

Ok, here it is:

  tar -vxf file.tar.gz --to-command 'gzip -c > $TAR_FILENAME.gz'

See the following link for details:
