I saved it as a txt file (text) in NeoOffice. But the grep command doesn't work. I entered grep "I am writing" then the pathname, ending with the file name (\name\ name\ name\.txt [The file name consists of three letters, with a space between them, no space between the last word and dot) but got the message 'No such file or directory.' when I try it with the copy saved in Apple's Text Edit (the txt extension) application it worked fine.
Can you tell me exactly what is meant by a text file and how it differs from a word processing file? Because I can choose fonts and formatting in Text Edit, just like Word or NeoOffice.

zegrep
ZGREP(1) BSD General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)
NAME
zgrep, zegrep, zfgrep -- print lines matching a pattern in gzip-compressed files
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [files ...]
zegrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...]
zfgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
zgrep runs grep(1) on files or stdin, if no files argument is given, after decompressing them with zcat(1).
The grep-flags and pattern arguments are passed on to grep(1). If an -e flag is found in the grep-flags, zgrep will not look for a pattern
argument.
zegrep calls egrep(1), while zfgrep calls fgrep(1).
EXIT STATUS
In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned, otherwise 0.
SEE ALSO
egrep(1), fgrep(1), grep(1), gzip(1), zcat(1)
