zipgrep - search files in a ZIP archive for lines matching
a pattern
zipgrep [egrep_options] pattern file[.zip] [file(s) ...]
[-x xfile(s) ...]
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)
.
- 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 is appended. Note that self-extracting ZIP files are supported,
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, separated
by spaces. If no member files are specified, all members of the ZIP archive
are searched. Regular expressions (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.
If an exclamation point or a caret (‘!’ or ‘^’) follows the left bracket, then
the range of characters 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.)
- [-x 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 any files 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 -x option, all
C source files in all directories within the zipfile would be searched.
All options prior to the ZIP archive filename are passed to egrep(1)
.
