grep not working when search string has a space in it
Hi,
I am trying to grep a string which has two words separated by space.
I used a script to grep the string by reading the string in to a variable
command i used in the script is
it is working fine when the entered string is a single word
but if it has two words then it is throwing an error
I tried by giving quotes here and there but in vain.
please help me in this regard.
Thanks and regards,
Somasekhar Gajjala.

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)
