The command bzegrep --with-filename --line-number "${search_pattern}" ${filename}
is used to search for a specific pattern within a file compressed with bzip2 compression. Here's an explanation of each component of the command:
bzegrep
: The command used to search for patterns within bzip2 compressed files. It is similar to thegrep
command used for regular text files.--with-filename
: This option ensures that the filename is printed along with the matching lines. This allows you to identify which file contains the matching pattern.--line-number
: This option prints the line numbers of the matching lines along with the lines themselves. It helps in locating the position of the pattern within the file.search_pattern
: This is the pattern you want to search for within the file. It can be a word, phrase, or regular expression.filename
: This is the name of the bzip2 compressed file you want to search within. It should be provided as the input file to search for the pattern.
By running this command, you will get a list of matching lines along with their line numbers and the names of the files where the matches were found.
