zfgrep: Search for an exact string in a file.

zfgrep

$ zfgrep ${search_string} ${filename}

try on your machine

The command "zfgrep ${search_string} ${filename}" is used to search for a specific string (represented by ${search_string}) within a file (represented by ${filename}) using the zfgrep utility.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

"zfgrep": It is the executable utility that is being utilized here. "zfgrep" stands for "Z-Version File GREP." Zfgrep is a utility similar to the grep command, but it is optimized for searching compressed or gzipped files.
"${search_string}": This is a placeholder for the actual string you want to search for within the file. You need to replace ${search_string} with the desired search term without the ${}.
"${filename}": This is another placeholder representing the name of the file in which you want to perform the search. You need to replace ${filename} with the actual file name, including the file path if necessary.

When you execute this command, zfgrep will search for occurrences of the provided ${search_string} within the ${filename} file and return any matching lines.
