WDX Plugin request: Extract text located in zip files

[Sombra]

When Quick view (without plugins) is active and you browse through zip archives, TC search for determinate types of files like *.txt, read.me, etc. (in general plain text files) and the text appear in the quick view panel.

I miss this feature in a wdx plugin. It should be useful for big storages of zip archives like downloads, plugins directories of TC , etc. for show this text in a custom column. In tooltips, in search functions, for move this information to descript.ion files or data stream, etc. The data could be shown like textline or xpdfsearch does.

Maybe a good start point could be the plugin MIDlet developed by byblo which extract information from a plain text in jar archives (zip archive renamed)
Just this, only an idea more.

The TextSearch can be used to show text in WDX columns.
Use ini to configure it, write there usage of "pkunzip"...

Hi

How the content plugin will show the info text which containing multiple lines into a single columns line ?

For example, like xpdfsearch does with the chain [=xpdfsearch.First Row] which show the first line or the chain [=xpdfsearch.Document Start] which show a determinate amount of characters. Another good example is the plugin TextLine It can show line 1, line 2, etc. , ignore determinates characters and blank lines.

At first glance, I can't view how it should work, but I will study it tomorrow. (Any value is shown where I choose the plugin textsearch for a custom column)
