ZIPGREP(1L)					      ZIPGREP(1L)

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.  (Wild-
	      card 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,  separated by spaces.	If no mem-
	      ber files are specified, all members of  the
	      ZIP  archive  are searched.  Regular expres-
	      sions (wildcards) may be used to match  mul-
	      tiple members:

	      *	     matches a sequence of 0 or more char-
		     acters

	      ?	     matches exactly 1 character

	      [...]  matches any  single  character  found
		     inside the brackets; ranges are spec-
		     ified 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 subdirecto-
	      ries.   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).
