   Hello all,   
   Hope this is the correct group for this question.   
   I couldn't find a vb beginners group.   
   I am getting overwhelmed and need some help.   
   I did this very easily in a batch file (only three lines), but DOS is too   
   limited and the use of the batch is presenting other problems (file is   
   compressed so I get garbage characters in the output file which I can't   
   edit).   
   I also wanted some other functionality added and decided to try VB6.   
      
   Problem -  (Totally lost and frustrated)   
   How do I search all files with a given extension (ex. *.zip) for text inside   
   those files and output those lines (strings) to a text file?   
   I need to be able to use wildcards, so from what I read the use of the File   
   System Object is not going to help me.   
   The files are compressed (don't know if that matters).   
   The text lines (strings) in the files I am looking for would be something   
   like *.bspPK(trailing garbage characters)   
      
   Any help will be much appreciated.   
   Thank you
