Find extended regular expression patterns in bzip2 compressed files using egrep. More information: <https://manned.org/bzegrep>.

  • Search for extended regular expressions (supporting `?`, `+`, `{}`, `()` and `|`) in a compressed file (case-sensitive):
    bzegrep "search_pattern" path/to/file
  • Search for extended regular expressions (supporting `?`, `+`, `{}`, `()` and `|`) in a compressed file (case-insensitive):
    bzegrep --ignore-case "search_pattern" path/to/file
  • Search for lines that do not match a pattern:
    bzegrep --invert-match "search_pattern" path/to/file
  • Print file name and line number for each match:
    bzegrep --with-filename --line-number "search_pattern" path/to/file
  • Search for lines matching a pattern, printing only the matched text:
    bzegrep --only-matching "search_pattern" path/to/file
  • Recursively search files in a bzip2 compressed tar archive for a pattern:
    bzegrep --recursive "search_pattern" path/to/file
