Search Through ZIP Archives
What You Can Do with PowerGREP
 |
"I just want to tell you that you have a great program there. It turned a job that could have taken hours into a few minutes. The Microsoft OneCare back up system creates ZIP files, hundreds of them. We use an external hard drive and OneCare backs up the files over our network. My daughter is a college student and her computer died. She needed all her notes for one of the topics for a final exam and by using PowerGREP we were able to search the backup drive and get her files immediately to load on another computer for her to continue her intensive studies. -- Paul Mayer21 February 2008, Illinois, USA |
With PowerGREP, you can quickly search for a piece of information through files and folders on your computer and network, including files compressed inside .zip files. This is particularly useful when extracting information from archived documents, or when gathering statistics from compressed log files.
With PowerGREP you can work with zip files as if they were regular file folders. Files inside zip archives are decompressed on-the-fly. Now you can save hard disk space or place more files on a CD or DVD by compressing them, and still search through them as usual.
When collecting data or converting many files, PowerGREP can save the results into one or more new .zip archives, even if the original files were not compressed. This is particularly useful if you plan to email the results. Now you need to attach only one .zip file.
If you like to keep backup files around, save disk space by telling PowerGREP to compress backups into .zip archives. Use the "numbered .zip" backup type to create a new archive for each action's backup files. While PowerGREP's Undo History handles zipped or regular backup files just the same, a single .zip file is handier if you want to archive backups outside of PowerGREP.
Skipping ZIP Files
Of course, sometimes you don't want to search through .zip files. Simply turn off "search through archives" in the File Selector menu to tell PowerGREP to skip zip files.
