$ zegrep "${search_pattern}" ${filename}
try on your machine
The command "zegrep" is used to search for a specific pattern within a file or multiple files. Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
"${search_pattern}" represents the pattern or regular expression that you want to search for within the file(s). It should be enclosed in double quotes.
-
${filename} represents the file or files in which you want to search for the specified pattern. It can be a single file name or a wildcard expression to search for multiple files.
Combining these elements, the zegrep command will search for the given pattern within the specified file(s). The "z" in zegrep indicates that it supports compressed files, such as those with extensions like .gz or .zip.
