Closing Wordsīandizip's find functionality is a godsend if you need to extract one or some files from large archives only. Basically, what this means is that you can only find files that Bandizip displays in its interface when you open the archive.

So, if you have an archive inside an archive, you first need to extract the archive ones before you can use the find functionality. What Bandizip cannot do unfortunately is find files inside other archives.

Once the archive is loaded, find is instant in a large archive like this.Įxtraction is near instant as well once you have selected the desired target location for the files of the archive that you want to extract.

I tested this with a 15 Gigabyte server backup of Ghacks which contains more than 670000 files and 11600 folders. Note that delete operations are only supported for some archive formats and not others.

The interface provides you with options to delete or extract selected files.

As soon as you start typing in the 'find what' field, files are filtered based on what you type.

These are listed with their name, size, modification date, type and other information. Bandizip lists all files and folders of the archive in the window that opens.

Select Find > Find Files, or press Ctrl-F to access the Find interface.

You can either open the Bandizip UI first and select the open file option, or load it directly if you have added Bandizip to the File Explorer or Windows Explorer context menu. You can then extract those files exclusively from the archive.

The free archiver Bandizip ships with find functionality in the user interface that you can make use of.Â Basically, what you do is load the archive in the program, and use Find to filter the files in the archive to only display those that you are interested in. You can search from the command line using 7z l archivename filename -r, but that is anything but comfortable. With 7-Zip for instance, you will notice that there is no option in the user interface of the program to search within archives. Not a problem if the archive has a small size, but if it is a Gigabyte-sized archive with thousands of files, it will take more time to find and extract the files that you are after.ĭepending on the archiving program that you are using, finding specific files may be a straightforward process, or a complicated one. It gets complicated when you are only interested in a single file, or some files, that are inside the archive.
