ah jeeze my bad I thought I did the code blocks....

anyway, I am confused on how to handle the variables with each case in the getopts command....

like, i do
Code:
 grep -n $1 $2

for findtext.

how do I translate that to the f) section of getops?

Code:
f)grep -n $1 $2

?....or are there arbitrary index counters I am not keeping track of where I can do something like
Code:
grep -n $x $x+1

?


thanks a ton!

EDIT: $OPTIND and $OPTIND+1

is that the right variable to be dealing with??

Oh the excitement I think im getting somewhere.... if only i could test this out right now!

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. AUTHOR
