File listings from zips

Need to get a file list out of a zip file? Winzip is a fine product, but don’t muck about with their recommended method, setting up a text file printer driver to print a list to, then having to chop out the paper-style headings and linefeeds.

No… Instead go to Info-Zip and grab their command-line zip package.

unzip -l filespec.zip [Optional filespec if you don't want them all] > filelist.txt

Easy.

    -v rings a bell from the pkzip days actually. I have used the command line option before, but didn’t think to go looking at the options available in it.
