I have some very large zip files contains thousands of files. I only need to unzip one or two files within it. In Windows, this can be easily done with most common programs like WinRAR or WinZIP. But in Mac OS X, I cannot find any software with the same functionality.

Can you not just drag said files out of the folder? This is what I usually do but I use windows and I have very limited experience with any of the mac OS's– slow_excellenceJul 10, 2014 at 1:39

For the records, there are/were various UI options able to browse zip's contents and extract them selectively. The ones I know:
- Pacifist
- The Archive Browser
- BetterZip
- Zipeg (this one stopped development, I think)
However, if you know the path to the files you wanna extract, it may be more efficient (and cheap) the command-line suggested above.
unzip archive.zip path/inside/zip
Add -j (junk paths) to remove subdirectories.
Use zipinfo (equivalent to unzip -Z) or unzip -l to list files.

Thank you. This is a way but must I use command line to complete this task? Isn't there any GUI applications available for this? Jul 11, 2014 at 3:25
