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  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, all
	      members 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.  If
		     an 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.)

       [-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 directo-
	      ries within the zipfile would be searched.


OPTIONS

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