How to use grep to check NAN value and nonexistense element in file
Hi,
I have a file which computes fields number and some column produced "nan"
I would like to convert the "nan" value to 0 basically.
q=`echo $i $j |awk '{printf("%f",($2/($1+$2)))}'
The above is the command which I use for computation. However, I would
like to check if $1 and $2 is 0, it will return 0 and echo as q=0 rather than nan.
Besides, I would like to know how can we check nonexistence element from grep
k=`grep -n " $char"'$'"" a.txt.txt|tr ":" " "|awk '{print $1}'
Above is the command which I used to grep and check a value of first field element. However, I would like to check if the grep returns me 0 (none found), it would print a constant value of 1000 let say.
Please help. Thanks.

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.
