Restrict "Find Files in archives" to specific arch

Post by *GerA »

Hi

I'm a long time user of TotalCommander and have a lot of 7z archives (and zip, rar etc)

I'm trying to search XML files containing a specfic string and I want to limit the search to archives named *XYZ.7z.
I cant find a way to do this.

Does somebody know if and how this can be done.

Thanx

if all your archives are in the same folder, you can try *XYZ.7Z\ *.xml and add search string and archive option.

If not you can reduce result scope using plugin tc.fullpath but i'm not sure on how the test are done...
