Find extended regular expression patterns in compressed files using egrep. More information: <https://www.unix.com/man-page/freebsd/1/zegrep/>.

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