Searching files in Zip Archive

Greetings,

Anyone ever tried to search the files in a zip archive for a string?

What I have is a couple folders with many zip files. Inside the zip is a single text file with the data. What I want is to work through the directories and then work through the zips. I've seen posts on using the FileSystemObject to search zips and deleting certain files and all that, but not to actually search inside the files. It would seem that the next logical step would be to open the files and then loop through the lines, but I'm not sure if there is "betta stuff" out there.

Thanks for the help.
