7-Zip CLI

Retard method: extract all the files to the same folder, do advanced search for files that don't contain the word VERIFIED, ctrl+a and delete everything the search shows

I of course have thought of doing that. It's just not very elegant, and you need the extra space for all the unwanted files - admittedly not really a problem right now but I still would like to know if 7z or 7za are capable doing something like this.

list files in 7z
for each file in files:
>unpack file -> temp/file
>list nested_files in temp/file
>for each nfile in nested_files
>>if nfile.string.contains("VERIFIED")
>>>unpack nfile -> save/nfile
>del temp/file

Shouldn't this work?

7z x archive.7z -oc:\path\to\out *VERIFIED*

As per this page:

Correction, that's:

7z x archive.7z -oc:\path\to\out *VERIFIED* -r

Thanks for the suggestions. Unfortunately I do not have time to test right now, but I will later today.

I'm sure it's possible somehow. Just haven't figured it out yet.

I think this might work but it's only for that one file 'archive.zip', right? How do I turn it into a batch instruction for the whole folder? There are some 2000 archives in that folder?

I really don't know much about 7z cli yet. I started looking into this just yesterday for a bit. Determined to find out though.

i think you can loop through a set of files in a directory with powershell and hand 7zip the filename for each loop.
