Grep text patterns from files within compressed file (equivalent to grep -Z). More information: <https://manned.org/zgrep>.

  • Grep a pattern in a compressed file (case-sensitive):
    zgrep pattern path/to/compressed/file
  • Grep a pattern in a compressed file (case-insensitive):
    zgrep -i pattern path/to/compressed/file
  • Output count of lines containing matched pattern in a compressed file:
    zgrep -c pattern path/to/compressed/file
  • Display the lines which don’t have the pattern present (Invert the search function):
    zgrep -v pattern path/to/compressed/file
  • Grep a compressed file for multiple patterns:
    zgrep -e "pattern_1" -e "pattern_2" path/to/compressed/file
  • Use extended regular expressions (supporting `?`, `+`, `{}`, `()` and `|`):
    zgrep -E regular_expression path/to/file
  • Print 3 lines of [C]ontext around, [B]efore, or [A]fter each match:
    zgrep -C|B|A 3 pattern path/to/compressed/file
