Hi, are You saying that the time stamp is in the file name or is it the actual time stamp of the file You want?
Using
Code:
touch -r file.txt file1.txt
will give file1.txt the same access and modification times as file.txt.
If it's in the filename I can't see what the problem is, You already have the filename that You want to use? You use it in the grep statement? You can do something like this:
Dear expert,
what is this command touch -c filename using for?
I find if execute and filename is existed, it update the date to now.
If the filename is not exeisted, it don't create the file..
so what is this command using for?
Thank a lot! (1 Reply)

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 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.
