[Solved] List *only* contents of 7zip archive

I need to list only the contents (really, only the files would be preferable) of a 7zip archive. There doesn't seem to be a way to do this with the binary, so I'm wondering if anyone knows of any tried and true methods to do it with sed/awk/etc. In lieu of that, here's what I'm thinking:

The lines which describe files all begin with a four digit year

2013-12-30 12:18:28 ....A         8183               clang/ex9c

So I'd begin by getting just those lines with

awk '/^[0-9]{4}-/{print}'

Then I could filter out the directories based on the attribute field and print the files with {print NF}.

I would probably want to put all of this into one awk command. I've never tried anything like that before, can someone confirm that it's possible?

Re: [Solved] List *only* contents of 7zip archive

Maybe other programs can do it? Try 'bsdtar ft <archivename>'.

Edit:

$ file 2.7z

Woot! Thanks, it (edit: specifically, bsdtar tf) works. I did not expect bsdtar to support 7zip archives. And directory listings end with / so I can easily filter them out too.
