bzgrep: Search for a pattern within a compressed file.
$ bzgrep "${search_pattern}" ${filename}
try on your machine

The bzgrep command is used to search for a specific pattern within a compressed file. Here is the breakdown of the command you provided:

  • bzgrep: This is the command itself, used to search within compressed files.
  • "${search_pattern}": This is the variable ${search_pattern} being passed as the search pattern argument. The double quotes around the variable ensure that any special characters in the pattern are properly preserved.
  • ${filename}: This is the variable ${filename} being passed as the name of the file in which the search will be performed. This should be the name of the compressed file you want to search within.

Overall, the command bzgrep "${search_pattern}" ${filename} searches for a specific pattern within a compressed file specified by ${filename}.
