Do you mean in the filename itself or within the actual compress file?

If you mean just the filename then :-

Code:

find *3800078163033*.Z

should work.

If you mean within the file then i'm not sure if there's an equivalent as below for files compressed with compress but if they were gzipped or bzipped there is bzcat and gzcat so you could do :-

Code:


string="3800078163033"

for file *.Z
do
   if [[ -n "$(gzcat $file | grep $string)" ]];then
       echo "File [$file] contains string [$string]"
   fi
done
