This article introduces you how to view the compressed file content in Linux, the content is very detailed, interested friends can refer to, hope to be helpful to you.

1. Use the Vim Editor

Vim is not just an editor, it also contains many other powerful features. The following command directly displays the contents of the compressed archive file:

$vim test.tar.gz "tar.vim version v29" Browsing tarfile / home/alvin/test.tar.gz "Select a file with cursor and press ENTER test/imag.jpg test/file.pdf test/song.mp3 test/

Not only that, you can even browse the archive file directly with Vim, and if there is a text file in it, you can open it directly, which is very convenient.

If you need to open a text file, simply use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the front of the file, and then press ENTER to open it.

two。 Use the tar command

The tar command can not only be used to compress / extract files, but you can also use the tar-tf command to view the contents of the package without extracting the tar file.

$tar-tf test.tar test/ test/image.jpg test/file.pdf test/song.mp3

"alternatively, use the-v option to view the detailed properties of the archive file, such as permissions, file owner, group, creation date, and so on."

$tar-tvf test.tar drwxr-xr-x alvin/users 0 2019-07-02 19:30 test/-rw-r--r-- alvin/users 53632 2019-06-29 15:57 test/image.jpg-rw-r--r-- alvin/users 156831 2019-06-04 12:37 test/file.pdf-rw-r--r-- alvin/users 9702219 2019-04-25 20:35 test/song.mp3

3. Use the rar command

Similarly, you can use the rar v command to view the contents of the package without extracting the rar file.
