Here is a ksh version. It will only append an entry if a capital A is passed as the third argument. Make sure you enclose the first argument in quotes! You can get some unpredictable results and/or corrupt your file if you don't and you have some spaces or special characters in there.
To use it:
Code:
./scriptname "John Smith: 555-123-4567" filename A
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
if [ $# -lt 2 ]
then
print "Usage: $0 entry filename [A]"
fi
if [[ `grep $1 $2` != "" ]]
then
grep "$1" "$2"
elif [[ $3 == A" && `grep $1 $2` != "" ]]
then
print "$1" >> "$2"
else
cat $2
fi

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.
