zipgrep: Specify files inside a ZIP archive from search.
$ zipgrep "${search_pattern}" ${filename-zip} ${file-to-search1} ${file-to-search2}
try on your machine

The command "zipgrep" is used to search for text patterns within files stored in a ZIP archive. Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • "${search_pattern}" represents the text pattern you want to search for within the files.
  • ${filename-zip} is the name of the ZIP file you want to search in.
  • ${file-to-search1} and ${file-to-search2} are the names of the specific files (inside the ZIP archive) that you want to search for the given pattern.

When you run this command, "zipgrep" will look for the specified pattern within the designated files inside the ZIP archive, and provide the corresponding line(s) containing the match.
