NAME
zipgrep - search files in a ZIP archive for lines matching a pattern
SYNOPSIS
zziippggrreepp [eeggrreeppooppttiioonnss] pattern file[.zip] [file(s) ...][-xx xfile(s) ...]
DESCRIPTION
zipgrep will search files within a ZIP archive for lines matching the
given string or pattern. zipgrep is a shell script and requires
egrep(1) and unzip(1L) to function. Its output is identical to that of egrep(1). AARRGGUUMMEENNTTSS pattern The pattern to be located within a ZIP archive. Any string or regular expression accepted by egrep(1) may be used. file[.zip] Path of the ZIP archive. (Wildcard expressions for the ZIP archive name are not supported.) If the literal filename is not found, the suffix .zip isappended. Note that self-extracting ZIP files are sup-
ported, as with any other ZIP archive; just specify the .exe suffix (if any) explicitly. [file(s)]An optional list of archive members to be processed, sep-
arated by spaces. If no member files are specified, allmembers of the ZIP archive are searched. Regular expres-
sions (wildcards) may be used to match multiple members: * matches a sequence of 0 or more characters ? matches exactly 1 character [...] matches any single character found inside the brackets; ranges are specified by a beginning character, a hyphen, and an ending character. Ifan exclamation point or a caret (`!' or `^') fol-
lows the left bracket, then the range of charac-
ters within the brackets is complemented (that is, anything except the characters inside the brackets is considered a match). (Be sure to quote any character that might otherwise be interpreted or modified by the operating system.)[-xx xfile(s)]
An optional list of archive members to be excluded from processing. Since wildcard characters match directory separators (`/'), this option may be used to exclude anyfiles that are in subdirectories. For example, ``zipgrep
grumpy foo *.[ch] -x */*'' would search for the string
``grumpy'' in all C source files in the main directory of the ``foo'' archive, but none in any subdirectories.Without the -xx option, all C source files in all directo-
ries within the zipfile would be searched. OOPPTTIIOONNSS All options prior to the ZIP archive filename are passed to egrep(1).SEE ALSO
