This is the third post talking about compressed files. This time, we will look into how to search within the compressed file, without decompressing it.
Gnuzip compressed file :
zgrep <.tar.gz or .gz compressed file>
e.g.
zgrep "load successful" today-log.tar.gz
*** there are also zegrep (extended regex grep) & fgrep (fixed-string grep) available
Bzip2 compressed file :
bzgrep <.tar.bz2 or .bz2 compressed file>
e.g.
bzgrep "loaded" logs.tar.bz2
*** there are also bzegrep (extended regex grep) & bfgrep (fixed-string grep) available
Farvel !!!
