How to use grep in a .zip file

Question

There are 3 files a.csv, b.csv, c.csv zipped as abh.zip, now you can run the grep command on abh.zip (is there any wild card with which only grep is executed for the c. Csv file inside zip file).

Answer 1

If you have zipgrep (which, AFAIK, comes with zip utilities), you can simply do

 zipgrep "pattern" abh.zip c.csv 

zipgrep supports most of the same basic options as vanilla grep .

Alternatively, if you do not have zipgrep , but you have unzip , you can do

 unzip -p abh.zip c.csv | grep "pattern" 

which unpacks the file into a pipe ( -p ) and then sends it as grep ped.

Answer 2

you can run the zipgrep command using the pip statement as shown below. Then you can only set the name "

zipgrep "name" abh.zip | grep c.csv
