Zipcat

Zipcat is a small tool to quickly uncompress the content of a zip file. It reads all files in the zip file and dump their contents to the standard output.

Some sample usage :

1. Find some text in a zip file including text and binary files:

zipcat mylib.jar | strings | grep mytext 

1. Count the lines of text in a zip file containing only text files:

zipcat myarchive.zip | wc -l
