Listing files without unzipping and selective unzip

We have several big sized zip files. Each of these zips contains excel file and a bunch of bmp images.

I was just wondering if 7-zip allows listing the content of the zip without unzipping it? And also if we can selectively unzip the excel file?

Currently, I use c# console program utilizing diagnostic process to execute 7z.exe. It would be nice not to unzip the entire thing.

SO is not good place to ask for instructions on how to use software (like 7zip) even if you launch it from C# code. – Alexei Levenkov

SO or not SO but this was really good to find this question in a web search because I immediately understood what I should do to solve my (a little bit different) question. But if this can be moved to Superuser, maybe that's more correct. – Display Name

For listing you can use the list command (l) to the 7zip.exe

7z l archive.zip

For selectively extracting files you can use different commands to the extract command. Something like:

7z e archive.zip -oc:\soft *.xls
