bzegrep

Find extended regular expression patterns in bzip2 compressed files using egrep. More information: https://manned.org/bzegrep.

  • Search for extended regular expressions (supporting ?, +, {}, () and |) in a compressed file (case-sensitive):

bzegrep "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}

  • Search for extended regular expressions (supporting ?, +, {}, () and |) in a compressed file (case-insensitive):

bzegrep --ignore-case "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}

  • Search for lines that do not match a pattern:

bzegrep --invert-match "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}

  • Print file name and line number for each match:

bzegrep --with-filename --line-number "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}

  • Search for lines matching a pattern, printing only the matched text:

bzegrep --only-matching "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}

  • Recursively search files in a bzip2 compressed tar archive for a pattern:

bzegrep --recursive "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}
