Solution

zipgrep — Find patterns in files in a Zip archive using extended regex (supports ?, +, {}, (), and |). More information: <https://manned.org/zipgrep>.

Search for a pattern within a Zip archive:
zipgrep "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file.zip}}


Print file name and line number for each match:
zipgrep {{[-H|--with-filename]}} {{[-n|--line-number]}} "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file.zip}}


Search for lines that do not match a pattern:
zipgrep {{[-v|--invert-match]}} "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file.zip}}


Specify files inside a Zip archive from search:
zipgrep "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file.zip}} {{file/to/search1}} {{file/to/search2}}


Exclude files inside a Zip archive from search:
zipgrep "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file.zip}} {{[-x|--line-regexp]}} {{file/to/exclude1}} {{file/to/exclude2}}
