Jar File Search!

pjanakir · #1 09-15-2005

Hi vgersh99,
Iam sorry for that. In future, I will start new threads for different topics. Assuming that we don't know what the name of the jar file, we are searching for is, do we have any way, of finding a string or a file in it. Is there any Unix command for it?

thanks.

What kind of string are you looking for in a jar file. Are you looking for a class name?

As you find jar files your can use "jar -tvf" to determine its contents.

You then could try someting like this:

Code:

find . -name \*jar -print -exec jar -tvf {} \; | nawk '/YOURSEARCHSTRING/ || /jar/ {print} '
