# xzgrep
> Search possibly compressed files with xz, lzma, gzip, bzip2, lzop, or zstd for regular expressions.
> See also: `grep`.
> More information: <https://manned.org/xzgrep.1>.
- Search for a pattern within a file:
`xzgrep "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/compressed/file}}`
- Search for an exact string (disables regular expressions):
`xzgrep --fixed-strings "{{exact_string}}" {{path/to/compressed/file}}`
- Search for a pattern in all files showing line numbers of matches:
`xzgrep --line-number "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/compressed/file}}`
- Use extended regular expressions (supports `?`, `+`, `{}`, `()` and `|`), in case-insensitive mode:
`xzgrep --extended-regexp --ignore-case "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}`
- Print 3 lines of context around, before, or after each match:
`xzgrep --{{context|before-context|after-context}}={{3}} "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}`
- Print file name and line number for each match with color output:
`xzgrep --with-filename --line-number --color=always "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}`
- Search for lines matching a pattern, printing only the matched text:
`xzgrep --only-matching "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}`
