How to implement search text in zip-archive using powershell

$search = read-host "string:" [system.reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("microsoft.system.environment") | out-null $machinename = [system.environment]::machinename $path = "\\$machinename\projects" set-location $path $dirs = get-childitem foreach ($dir in $dirs) {          get-childitem -path $path\$dir\traces -recurse -include *.trace  | where-object {(gc $_) | select-string $search}  } 

how organize search in zip file

how organize such search in archive, unpack , manually search not possible because zip archive huge amount (> 1000)

from original post, sounds want find text string inside lot of text files inside of zip package.

i don't know there's method of doing you're asking. think need follow process similar this:

1. extract contents of zip package temporary location
2. perform search
3. clean temporary extraction path

hope helps.
