zipgrep doesn't handle regexp with some special characters correctly,
as shown below.
$ echo a.b > file1
$ echo a-b > file2
$ zip files.zip file1 file2
adding: file1 (stored 0%)
adding: file2 (stored 0%)
With egrep:
$ egrep a\\.b file1 file2
file1:a.b
$ egrep a\|b file1 file2
file1:a.b
file2:a-b
$
But with zipgrep:
$ zipgrep a\\.b files.zip
$ zipgrep a\|b files.zip
$
This is due to the following code:
# Escape shell-special characters in "pat".
pat=` echo "$pat" | \
sed -e 's/\\\\/\\\\\\\\/g' -e 's/|/\\\|/g' -e 's/&/\\\&/g' `
which breaks the regexp. Escaping is useless because once a string
is in a shell variable pat, it is no longer reinterpreted when just
using "$pat". And as a consequence, escaping is incorrect because
the escape characters are not removed when using "$pat". Moreover,
the use of echo was not portable.
I've attached a patch, which removes this useless/incorrect code.
