6 zipgrep - search files in a ZIP archive for lines matching a pattern

10 [-x xfile(s) ...]

13 zipgrep will search files within a ZIP archive for lines matching the
14 given string or pattern. zipgrep is a shell script and requires
15 egrep(1) and unzip(1L) to function. Its output is identical to that of
16 egrep(1).
17
19 pattern
20 The pattern to be located within a ZIP archive. Any
21 string or regular expression accepted by egrep(1) may be
22 used. file[.zip] Path of the ZIP archive. (Wildcard
23 expressions for the ZIP archive name are not supported.)
24 If the literal filename is not found, the suffix .zip is
25 appended. Note that self-extracting ZIP files are sup‐
26 ported, as with any other ZIP archive; just specify the
27 .exe suffix (if any) explicitly.
28 [file(s)]
30 An optional list of archive members to be processed, sep‐
31 arated by spaces. If no member files are specified, all
32 members of the ZIP archive are searched. Regular expres‐
33 sions (wildcards) may be used to match multiple members:
34 * matches a sequence of 0 or more characters
36 ? matches exactly 1 character
38 [...] matches any single character found inside the
40 brackets; ranges are specified by a beginning
41 character, a hyphen, and an ending character. If
42 an exclamation point or a caret (`!' or `^') fol‐
43 lows the left bracket, then the range of charac‐
44 ters within the brackets is complemented (that is,
45 anything except the characters inside the brackets
46 is considered a match).
47 (Be sure to quote any character that might otherwise be
49 interpreted or modified by the operating system.)
50 [-x xfile(s)]
52 An optional list of archive members to be excluded from
53 processing. Since wildcard characters match directory
54 separators (`/'), this option may be used to exclude any
55 files that are in subdirectories. For example, ``zipgrep
56 grumpy foo *.[ch] -x */*'' would search for the string
57 ``grumpy'' in all C source files in the main directory of
58 the ``foo'' archive, but none in any subdirectories.
59 Without the -x option, all C source files in all directo‐
60 ries within the zipfile would be searched.
61
63 All options prior to the ZIP archive filename are passed to
64 egrep(1).
65
67 egrep(1), unzip(1L), zip(1L), funzip(1L), zipcloak(1L), zip‐
68 info(1L), zipnote(1L), zipsplit(1L)
