Searching for square bracket with zipgrep

I have tried this in Cygwin and git-bash - same result.

With plain grep, a [ character in the pattern can be escaped with a backslash to indicate a literal [ character is to be searched for.

But this doesn't work with zipgrep:

$ zipgrep '[HashMap' /c/Users/greerob/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/com.twitter/jsr166e/1.1.0/7558d13056c1f98be269fed58ae5a8e76c7616d4/jsr166e-1.1.0-sources.jar

grep: Unmatched [, [^, [:, [., or [=

Even escaping it twice doesn't work:

$ zipgrep '\[HashMap' /c/Users/greerob/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/com.twitter/jsr166e/1.1.0/7558d13056c1f98be269fed58ae5a8e76c7616d4/jsr166e-1.1.0-sources.jar

grep: Unmatched [, [^, [:, [., or [=

And trying to specify that the entire pattern is a fixed string rather than a regular expression doesn't work either:

$ zipgrep -F '[HashMap' /c/Users/greerob/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/com.twitter/jsr166e/1.1.0/7558d13056c1f98be269fed58ae5a8e76c7616d4/jsr166e-1.1.0-sources.jar

grep: conflicting matchers specified

How can I search for a [ character inside the contents of a zip file?

zipgrep is a script. Try asking the author as the script may be broken.

Try to specify it as [ or even triple \[.
