XZLESS(1) XZ Utils XZLESS(1)NAME
xzless, lzless - view xz or lzma compressed (text) files
SYNOPSIS
xzless [file...]
lzless [file...]
DESCRIPTION
xzless is a filter that displays pagefulls of uncompressed text from compressed file(s) to a terminal. It works on files compressed with
xz(1) or lzma(1). If no files are given, xzless reads from standard input.
xzless uses less(1) as its only pager. Unlike xzmore, the choice of pagers is not alterable by an environment variable. Commands are
based on both more(1) and vi(1), and allow back and forth movement and searching. See the less(1) manual for more information.
The command named lzless is provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.
ENVIRONMENT
LESSMETACHARS
A list of characters special to the shell. Set by xzless unless it is already set in the environment.
LESSOPEN
Set to a command line to invoke the xz(1) decompressor for preprocessing the input files to less(1).

In a shell script I would like to use a compressed file name, i.e. with suffix of .Z, as a file input $1. After the file in uncompressed, I would like to use the file name without the .Z . How do I do this?
Thank you. (8 Replies)
The code below works for finding files created in 2005 that are compressed.
How do I delete these files?
Do I substitute rm -f for the print $0 ?

(ls -lR | awk '$8 == "2005" && $9 ~ /Z$/ {print $0}')
thanks for your help!!! (2 Replies)
