$ ugrep --decompress "${search_pattern}"
try on your machine
The ugrep command is used to search files for a given pattern, similar to the grep command.
In this specific command, the --decompress option is used to automatically decompress files that are compressed (e.g., gzip, bzip2, etc.) before searching.
The ${search_pattern} is a placeholder for the pattern you want to search for. It can be any combination of text, characters, or regular expressions that you are trying to find within the files.
By running this command, ugrep will search for the specified pattern in the files, and if any of the files are compressed, it will automatically decompress them prior to performing the search.
