!!NAME


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


__zipgrep__ [[__egrep_options__] ''pattern
file''[[''.zip''] [[''file(s)'' ...] [[__-x__
''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).
!!ARGUMENTS


''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.
!!OPTIONS


All options prior to the ZIP archive filename are passed to
egrep(1).
