Search in archives, too

Post by mklhmnn »

I'm a Java developer. Sometimes I have projects with a lot of .jar files. If I want to search for a string in one of these jar files, I'm lost with Altap Salamander ATM. Hence I would like to see the ability to search inside archives, too, just as they would be directories.

I had to install Totalcommander to get this done, right now. TC is very powerful, but you feel 15 years moved back into the past.

Could come in handy.

Any number of times I've unzipped a Mozilla .jar, now known as .ja, aka .zip, in order to find files within.
Now I could "explorer" the .ja directly, but when you have huge directory structures & you don't know where to go to look, a search, without manually unpacking would be helpful.
