You were trying to match that expression on
the output of ls -l.
If you check the output of ls -l, you'll notice that it does not have a digit at the second place, which is why the grep did not have a match.

Folks,
Is there a simple way to replace one digit by two digit using sed.
Example,
mydigit1918_2006_8_8_lag1.csv should be
mydigit1918_2006_08_08_lag01.csv.
I tried this way, but doesn't work.
echo mydigit1989_2006_8_8_lag1.csv|sed 's/]/0]/'

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.
