Searching file/folder names within compressed files

Post by Shooter3k »

Is it possible to search for file/folder names within compressed files? I've read a bunch of threads about how that might exist in 1.5 but I haven't been able to find that option.

zip-file-name:

For example:

*.zip zip-file-name:"Everything.exe"


Requires Everything 1.5.

Indexing properties in Everything 1.5.
(Add the container filenames property).

I didn't know that this is available :o
Are other archive types like 7z or rar planned ?
How can I get the filenames inside of the supported archives (*.zip) indexed ?

7z and rar support is planned.

The zip filenames can only be searched with the zip-file-name: search.
The zip filenames can only be shown with the Container filenames column.

Everything 1.5.0.1353a adds 7z support for the container filenames and container file count properties.

Does filename include finding folders as well or just files with an extension ? and also does this search for the "name" anywhere in the path inside archives or just at the end of the path ?

Looks like filename &/or directory name.

*.7z zip-file-name:"Everything.exe"

Code: Select all

   Date      Time    Attr         Size   Compressed  Name
------------------- ----- ------------ ------------  ------------------------
2023-08-03 13:16:47 ....A          379          209  everything.exe
------------------- ----- ------------ ------------  ------------------------
2023-08-03 13:16:47                379          209  1 files

Code: Select all

   Date      Time    Attr         Size   Compressed  Name
------------------- ----- ------------ ------------  ------------------------
2023-08-03 13:18:18 D....            0            0  m m
2023-08-03 13:18:26 D....            0            0  m m\everything.exe
2023-08-03 13:18:26 ....A            0            0  m m\everything.exe\hi there you swine.TXT

How do you get this kind of detailed output ?

7-zip - command line,
7z.exe (7za.exe) l archive.7z
(though, on my end, I call it 777.exe).
(Virtually) all archivers support 'l'.

Code: Select all

l : List contents of archive (7-zip)
l: List contents of archive  (ARJ)
-l  list files (short format) (unzip)
l[t[a],b]     List archive contents [technical[all], bare] (rar) ...

(I have no idea what the 7-zip GUI may show.)
