Subject: Re: searching in zipped files
I don't know if you can view a file while in zipped format, but you =
can unzip the archive to a temp folder and view the files that way. Then =
just delete the temp folder when your done. As far as I can tell, even =
winzip does this to view a file in the archive. you can use pkzip from =
the command line in your program to access the archive.
Chris
anybody done some program that searches text in zipped files or =
knows how to do it?
It would be very useful
-- To view and search inside compressed files, I use Christian =
Ghisler's Windows Commander (Win32 version), which you can find at =
http://www.ghisler.com. Extremely fast and reliable, not only does it =
have internal zip compression and decompression, but also internal =
un-arj, un-lzh, un-rar and un-ace. Its default is not to search within =
archives, but you can enable that in the search window itself (you can =
save and load searches). The resulting files can be viewed from that =
same window, or you can 'feed to listbox', creating a pseudo-directory =
containing all the search results, which you can navigate at pleasure =
(viewing, editing, etc.).
I repeat, it's very fast. My slowest machine is a veteran 486 =
DX4-100 with just 8 MB RAM (yes, that's eight, not eighteen or eighty!). =
I use it for writing and testing. I've run on it many a Wincmd search =
inside zips and I assure you I didn't have time to get a cup of coffee.
For Linux users, there's the Midnight Commander. I don't think it =
can search for text, but it can assuredly view compressed and/or =
archived files, at least .tar, .gz, .zip, .tar.gz, and .zip (I'm not =
sure about rpm's, maybe it was just on the wish list).
Best luck.
