Hi Tyler, once i execute the command, it just sits and nothing happens.
I would also want to inform that there are 2 files from todays date in the same folder. They both are duplicates of each other. I wouldnt care which one does the command read, it can be either of the two. They both however have the same naming convention but are named differently.
I've cooked up a testcase that simulates the "2 file" scenario. Of course, the files cannot have the same name, and I am assuming that the 5 digit random number between the date format and the ".txt" extension is different between their names.
In that case, the ls -1 and the subsequent pipeline to grep will just print the lines from both files that have "lostER" in them. See below -
But you say that it just sits there and nothing happens.
Are you saying that the control does not return to the shell's dollar ($) prompt ?
The only thing I can think of then is that your files are huge and the grep is still working and taking its own time.
How big are the files ?
How long does it take to grep a hard-coded file name ? That is -
Again, how long does the left part of the pipeline take ? That is -
By testing individual commands, you should be able to figure out the exact process that's hogging up all the time.

Hi,
I have a list of zipped files. I want to grep for a string in all files and get a list of file names that contain the string. But without unzipping them before that, more like using something like gzcat.
My OS is:

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)
