Hey PxT,
The /dev/null is a nice twist - I'm not sure I understand why/how this works - I would have used a -l option on the grep to list the files. But showing the file & pattern found is nice.
Can you explain what this is doing? Is the behavior related to grep or to the find?

Hello,
Is possibly there a way to prepend the filename to its content without a third file? The reason is to add a header to each file contents to distinguish each other when they are pasted side-by-side.

ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)
NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
