Hi ,

How do i view the contents of text file within a zip file without
extracting it ?
My requirement is that there are several zip files having a version
file within them ( which is text file ) . I just want to find the zip
file with the exact version ( by reading the version file within the zip
) and then unzip it ?
I have access to xterm and cannot use the Archiver in KDE for example.

Thanks,
Prakash

    ... Next, it's not just to "switch" the binaries to try the new update to see what it reports, you need to turn off the whole KDE, switch the files and start it again, whcih results in all to much work. ... extracting and installing the rpm's took more ... I'm all to lazy to rebuild the whole ebuild, so I just extract the source and only build the kweather with my fix for the sunraise/sunset times for remote locations (sadly this don't work for the icon itself, I get a night icon more often than a day icon). ... I think it had been good if KDE used the local defaults, buyt had a configuration page in the control-center where you could adjust locale settings and use a "custom" local instead of those defaults. ...
