hi
the actuall requirement are as such
grep -n "end" $FILE | cut -f1 -d":"
here $FILE is variable which contains the path of the file which
need to be grepped.
i am performing this operation in a while loop,which reads from a file (say xx) and for each path given in file xx, it assign path to variable
$FILE and then perform the grep operation
if i just write the expression as given above in my script it gives error saying "grep: canot open file ......"
And if i perform in this way
eval grep -n "end" $FILE | cut -f1 -d":"
it gives proper result at the scree
i.e 200 (line number expected)
But now i want this line number to be store it in a variable instead displaying at the screen
HOPE so now you got my problem...
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 is used to invoke the grep on compress'ed or gzip'ed files. All options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is speci-
fied, 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 zgrep is invoked as zegrep or zfgrep then egrep or fgrep is used instead of grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses
it as the grep program to be invoked. For example:
for sh: GREP=fgrep zgrep string files
for csh: (setenv GREP fgrep; zgrep string files)
