grep filenames that contain string in a zip folder

I am trying to retrieve only the file names in a zip folder where those files contain a specific string (the string inside the file, not part of the file name). I tried the following command:

unzip -l results.zip | zipgrep -lir "Token" *

but it does not retrieve any results. It just starts a new command line. Is this the right way to just get the filenames that contain the string Token?

zipgrep -l "Token" results.zip does the work It returns results/filexxx.txt if fielxxx.txt contains Token

If you just want to get the filename without folder results:

 zipgrep  "Token" results.zip  | awk -F: '{print $1}' | awk -F'/' '{print $2}'

You don't need to call unzip if you're using zipgrep. Just use zipgrep directly on a zip file like this:

zipgrep -li "Token" results.zip

Note that there is no need to use -r (recursive) option here.
