Thank you Warren Young! And can I "process" assign? Example: if [ $TAR = 0 ]

@Jannyeis: I'm not sure what you mean. If you run tar inside $() like in your original code, you are capturing its output. So, comparing that output to 0 is also not likely to do what you want. You're interested in the exit status code here, not the text output of the program.
