bzegrep: Search for lines matching a pattern, printing only the matched text.

bzegrep

$ bzegrep --only-matching "${search_pattern}" ${filename}

try on your machine

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

"bzegrep": This is the command itself. It is used to search for patterns within bzip2 compressed files.
"--only-matching": This option specifies that only the portions of the input that match the search pattern should be shown.
"${search_pattern}": This is a placeholder for the pattern you want to search for. You would replace "${search_pattern}" with the actual pattern you want to find.
"${filename}": This is another placeholder for the name of the file you want to search within. Replace "${filename}" with the actual name of the file you want to search in.

By running this command, the tool will search for the designated pattern within the specified bzip2 compressed file and display only the portions of the input that match the pattern.
