bzegrep: Search for extended regular expressions (supporting `?`, `+`, `{}`, `()` and `|`) in a compressed file (case-sensitive).
$ bzegrep "${search_pattern}" ${filename}
try on your machine

The command bzegrep "${search_pattern}" ${filename} is used to search for a specific text pattern within a bzip2 compressed file. Here's an explanation of the command:

  • bzegrep: This is the command being executed. It is used to search for a pattern within bzip2 compressed files.
  • "${search_pattern}": This is a placeholder for the text pattern you want to search for. The pattern should be enclosed in double quotes. For example, if you are searching for the word "apple", you would replace ${search_pattern} with "apple".
  • ${filename}: This is another placeholder for the name of the compressed file you want to search within. You need to replace ${filename} with the actual name of the file you want to search. Make sure to provide the correct path to the file if it is located in a different directory.

When you execute this command, it will search for the given ${search_pattern} within the contents of the ${filename} file and display any lines that match the pattern.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
