    Need a program that searches through large zips


    I have a back up and somewhere in that back up is a small text file that I need which I have no idea where it is in 150 gb of zip files so I don't wanna extract the whole thing but I need to search through it. I don't think windows search is powerful enough or is even able to search through zip files but I need some program/utility that can do this job. Please link me to the program. I need it urgently.

    IZarc (free) will do it with no fuss
    IZArc - Download

    Filelocator Lite pro (paid - cheap) will also search for contents within the zip file I believe!

    I believe Free Commander can also search through ZIP and other archives with no problem.

    Very highly recommended for general purpose and super-convenenient drag/drop file management (instead of Windows Explorer) with multi-pane presentation and customizable toolbar, etc., etc..

I need to compare 2 very large folders. One is a backup of the other, so I expect them to be identical, but I want to verify that each file is truly identical (byte for byte). The folders have many subfolders and thousands of files, some over 1GB is size. So the solution must operate as fast...
