The command "bzgrep --only-matching "${search_pattern}" ${filename}" is used to search for a pattern within a compressed file using the BZ2 compression format.
Here's what each part of the command does:
-
bzgrep
: This is the command used to search within compressed files in the BZ2 format. It combines the functionality ofgrep
andbzip2
. -
--only-matching
: This option instructsbzgrep
to only display the matching parts of the search results, rather than printing the entire line where the pattern is found. -
${search_pattern}
: This is a placeholder that should be replaced with the pattern you want to search for. It can be a regular expression or a simple text pattern. -
${filename}
: This is a placeholder that should be replaced with the name of the compressed file you want to search within.
So, when you run the command with the actual pattern and filename, bzgrep
will search for the given pattern within the compressed file and display only the matching parts of the search results.
