Search through 2 levels of zip
Hi guys,

I know I'm missing something simple here.

We have about 500 zipped files in a directory which contain more zip files and within those I need to find a file without unzipping everything.

I know I can use zipinfo which I'm trying to create a for loop to go through the files and search but what I have so far only looks in the first level of the zip I need to go down the next level to find the filename. Below is what I've tried

Code:
for f in *.zip;do zipinfo $f | grep '<filename>';done

Thanks in advance

Pete
