Works Perfect anbu23 :-)

Just need to change it a little to first unzip the folder and then tar.
I have:

Code:
for zipped_folder in *tgz
do
  current_tar = 'gunzip $zipped_folder'
  tar -xf $current_tar && grep "GET roaming98.htm?98&htm" live_access_log > results.log
done

But it dos'nt work.
Any ideas?

Thanks in Advance

zgrep

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.
