zipgrep: Exclude files inside a ZIP archive from search.

zipgrep

$ zipgrep "${search_pattern}" ${filename-zip} -x ${file-to-exclude1} ${file-to-exclude2}

try on your machine

The command "zipgrep" is used to search for a specific pattern within files contained in a zip archive.

Here is an explanation of each component:

"${search_pattern}" : This is a placeholder for the pattern or text you want to search for within the files in the zip archive. You need to replace "${search_pattern}" with the actual pattern you want to search for.
${filename-zip} : This is the name of the zip file that contains the files you want to search through. You need to replace "${filename-zip}" with the actual name of the zip file.
-x ${file-to-exclude1} ${file-to-exclude2} : This option (-x) is used to exclude specific files from the search. ${file-to-exclude1} and ${file-to-exclude2} are placeholders for the names of the files you want to exclude from the search. You can replace these placeholders with the actual file names you want to exclude. If you have more files to exclude, you can add them using the same syntax.

Overall, this command will search for a specific pattern within the files in a zip archive (${search_pattern}), excluding certain files (${file-to-exclude1}, ${file-to-exclude2}, and so on) from the search.
