Searching files inside archive

As soon as you have opened encrypted archive, you can run the Find File command from the Edit menu in the main BCArchive window. The following dialog will appear:

Enter a complete file name of the document you want to find or its partial name in the File pattern edit box. Use * symbol for the sequence of letters that can consist of any number of letters in the file name or % symbol for exactly one letter that may have any possible value.

You can choose the following folders where BCArchive will look for the specified document:

• All folders inside encrypted archive by setting the Search from root folder option;
• Current folder and all subfolders by using the Search from current folder option;
• Look for the document in the current folder only by using the Search in current folder only option;
• Select some folders before running the Find File command, then run the command and choose the Search in selected folders only option to find the document in the selected folders.

If you want to find document storing specific word or phrase, enter the text in the A word or phrase in the file edit box. Please note that the document may store the text in different formats, hence, you should choose an appropriate format in the Character type list: Unicode text (format, which uses 2 bytes per letter), DOS text (format, which uses 1 byte per letter) or, if the file is in a binary format, Hexadecimal option.

Click Find to start the searching process or Cancel to terminate the process.
