Question one entry per file, or many entries per file?

Please clarify... for example
option #1 (each record in own file)
file1
City: Brockton
Zip: 02330
State: MA

file2
City: Boston
Zip: 02109
State: MA

OR option #2 (all records in one file)
file1
City: Brockton
Zip: 02330
State: MA
City: Boston
Zip: 02109
State: MA

Also, clarify on if variable names (like CitySmilie preceed all data.

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
