Do you mean that you want to be able to find day..2 and day.2 (dots=spaces)?
That means the variable will have to be a regular expression or you will have to have two separate values to grep for like this:
Can I use search & replace in any variable?
Suppose I have one variable named var1 which holds value "abcabc" I need to search 'a' in var1 and want to replace with 'x' like 'xbcxbc'. Is it possible? Can you provide me an example?

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 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)
