Find patterns in bzip2 compressed files using grep. More information: <https://manned.org/bzgrep>.

  • Search for a pattern within a compressed file:
    bzgrep "search_pattern" path/to/file
  • Use extended regular expressions (supports `?`, `+`, `{}`, `()` and `|`), in case-insensitive mode:
    bzgrep --extended-regexp --ignore-case "search_pattern" path/to/file
  • Print 3 lines of context around, before, or after each match:
    bzgrep --context|before-context|after-context=3 "search_pattern" path/to/file
  • Print file name and line number for each match:
    bzgrep --with-filename --line-number "search_pattern" path/to/file
  • Search for lines matching a pattern, printing only the matched text:
    bzgrep --only-matching "search_pattern" path/to/file
  • Recursively search files in a bzip2 compressed tar archive for a pattern:
    bzgrep --recursive "search_pattern" path/to/tar/file
  • Search `stdin` for lines that do not match a pattern:
    cat /path/to/bz/compressed/file | bzgrep --invert-match "search_pattern"
