ZipSearch 1.3.2 * Search File Names & Content in File System & Zip Files
ZipSearch simulates the Windows search utility and extends on it to include zip file contents. Searches are based on name matching, and can also perform date and size filtering. Limited wildcard characters are supported for matching of folder and file names. Searches within file text supports multi-line, case-sensitive and case-insensitive matching, as well as whole-word-only searches. This tool can also perform searches within the text content of zipped files.
It can search within multiple locations simultaneously, and search to any sub-folder depth. Files and folders can be selected for exclusion from searches. Also, it catalogues all searched locations so subsequent searches are lightning fast.
This utility does not discard the results of the searches it performs, allowing the navigation of search results within the utility without losing the original list of results. Up to thirty searches can be performed before the oldest results are over-written by subsequent searches. More advanced search filtering can be achieved by merging the common items from the result of the multiple searches.
ZipSearch remembers all your settings. You can define groups of multiple paths for searching. The tree and list respond to the scroll wheel without the need to click on them first. File system monitoring updates ZipSearch as changes are made outside of the program. The interface remains responsive to user actions at all times, and allows access to search result items even as the search continues.
ZipSearch combines Shell change notification with the file system, removable media like CDs and DVDs, memory sticks, and USB drives to respond to all changes both in the search class and the GUI dynamically.
ZipSearch uses Info-Zip's Unzip32.dll to open zipped files for content searching and making zipped files available for display. Unzip32.dll is freely available at www.info-zip.org.
ZipSearch also now uses Alexander Roshal's Unrar.dll freely available at www.rarlab.com.

Revision 1.3.2 - 10 June 2012
Updated the whole project to use the 'W' API functions to preserve unicode, however the zip and rar libraries may not support unicode file names internally.
If you are using an early Windows that does not support unicode then 1.3.1 is the last ANSI compatible version. Unless requested ANSI will no longer be supported.
Please find more information in the ZipSearch documents folder.

I made this for my own needes and wanted to search multiple locations and be able to exclude locations at the same time.
I modelled the GUI on the Windows Search utility, so it ended up a bit quirky with too much on one screen maybe.
I recommend using the keyboard (arrow keys and spacebar) to traverse the combo's.
It has limited drag n drop (drag off only, cannot drag onto it) but I don't plan to make this more like explorer.
Hope many of you all find this useful. I found myself using it even as I was still developing it, to search out API declares and constants in my collection of PSC zips!
Happy coding,
Rd :)

Fantastic Code and fast, it searched my 7100 zip files totalling 10 meg of data in 30 meg of disk space in just a few seconds, awesome.
Just one minor bug for small files (i.e. 5kb unzipped) in the Zip file appearing to be 0 in the code USize statement,
change this line
ElseIf (Not bFolder) And taPK_Hdr(mZFileCnt).USize Then
To this
ElseIf (Not bFolder) Then
5 Globes from me for your great program and thanks for sharing.

Hi ACY
Thanks heaps for your generous vote and especially for the feedback.
I will look into it asap. I think it may have something to do with using double data type?
I had errors when searching within files that are actually 0 bytes, so I added that to catch empty files.
I will update when I work out a fix.
Thanks again ACY and happy coding,
Rd :)

I'm still working on this, improving the gui behavior mainly, fixed a couple of minor bugs.
Listview sorting wasn't seperating files and folders when ordered by date, and did a re-working of the compare function to fix it and gained some speed as well!
Will update with improvements soon - feedback most welcome.
Happy coding,
Rd :)

Hi Rd.
Just a follow up on the
"taPK_Hdr(mZFileCnt).USize"
returning 0 problem, I tried your suggestion and created a new zip with the original small file and it returns the correct file size so I can only assume it's a different Zip format which incidentally was created by a Unix process so that is the only thing I can put it down too. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing. :o-)

Bug introduced in v1.1.7
In LoadCustomGroupNames:
Id = CLng(Right$(saItems(idx, 0), 1&)) ' "Group" & id
Should be changed to:
Id = CLng(Mid$(saItems(idx, 0), 6&)) ' "Group" & id
Will be included in next revision 1.1.9

"mReplaceApi.BAS" is GOOOOOOOOD Code !
Put it in my stock project ,I found that :
If variable Type is Variant
THEN "mReplaceApi.BAS" is not OK .
Please modify It ,thanks !
'- for example:------------------------------------
Dim x As Variant
x = Replace$(x, ",", "")

Hi fancytom, thanks for the feedback :)
I will fix the error and re-upload
As for the replace module,
there are two fixes
The easiest is to simply do this:
Dim x As Variant
x = Replace$(CStr(x), ",", "")
The other fix is harder.
In the replaceApi mod:
Change
Func Replace(sString As String, sTerm...
to
Func Replace(sStr, sTerm...
Then declare the string variable:
On Error GoTo FreakOut
Dim sString As String
sString = CStr(sStr)
etc...
Hope this helps.
Let me know if this does not fix it
Happy coding :)

Hi again all
Revision 1.2.9 is up - this project is very nearly complete now!
A request - remove any existing error log file in the ZipSearch folder, then in a week or two, look again and email me a copy if it is there again.
Your feedback is needed!
Happy coding,
Rd :)

Hi Zhu JinYong
ZipSearch uses Info-Zip's Unzip32.dll to access zip files so will need Info-Zip to update the dll to .zipx
Happy coding,
Rd :)

ZipSearch now also uses Alexander Roshal's Unrar.dll to open RAR files for content searching and can make packed files available for display.
Unrar.dll is freely available from http://www.rarlab.com - Extras.
If you download version 3 of this DLL it will be named Unrar3.dll and so the declares in RarFiles.bas will need to be updated to "Unrar3".
If you have an earlier version of Unrar.dll it will work fine.

I'm not sure but you may need to change the fonts for all the controls that display text in ZipSearch from within the IDE before compiling if Unicode characters are not displaying correctly for you?
