bzegrep: Search for extended regular expressions (supporting `?`, `+`, `{}`, `()` and `|`) in a compressed file (case-insensitive).
$ bzegrep --ignore-case "${search_pattern}" ${filename}
try on your machine
The command bzegrep
is used to search for a specific pattern within a file, while also ignoring the case sensitivity of the pattern. Here is an explanation of each part of the command:
bzegrep
: This is the command itself, used to search for text patterns within compressed files on Linux systems.--ignore-case
: This is an option or flag that is passed to thebzegrep
command. It instructs the command to ignore the case sensitivity while matching the search pattern.${search_pattern}
: This is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual pattern you want to search for. It could be a word, phrase, or a regular expression.${filename}
: This is also a placeholder that should be replaced with the name of the file you want to search within. It could be a text file that has been compressed using the bzip2 compression algorithm.
Putting it all together, when you run the bzegrep --ignore-case "${search_pattern}" ${filename}
command, it will search for the specified search_pattern
in the filename
file, ignoring case sensitivity.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
