How to unzip only the first few lines of a zip archive?

zip extract cat tail

This simple pipe-script works for me:

zcat a.zip | head -n 10

Here:

  • zcat a.zip - unpacks zip-archive and sends its contents to standard output
  • | pipes zcat output to head input
  • head -n 10 - shows first 10 lines from its standard input
