I want to check if file(s) exist even in subdirectories and perform an action. After searching here couldn't find solution that would work, but made my own solution that works fine:
That will check if 1 or more files named *MLOG* exist and executes egrep command with parameters supplied to the script.
How should that be with correct syntax?
There is as well one bug I'd like to avoid, when it finds too many files then grep will fail because of too many arguments.
Problem: I have a shell script that will be called by a Perl module that will connect to a db and delete rows. The Perl module will be called by CRON. I am using a Perl module to call a shell script because I need to get the db connection from Perl.
Here is the Perl pseudocode:

I'm trying to grep a long ls by looking at the beginning of each filename for example:
Many files begin with yong_ho_free_2005...
Many files begin with yong_ho_2005...
I can't just use "grep yong_ho" otherwise It'll display both files.
So I'm trying to use a regex but my syntax is wrong.

xzegrep
XZGREP(1) XZ Utils XZGREP(1)NAME
xzgrep - search compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
xzgrep [grep_options] [-e] pattern file...
xzegrep ...
xzfgrep ...
lzgrep ...
lzegrep ...
lzfgrep ...
DESCRIPTION
xzgrep invokes grep(1) on files which may be either uncompressed or compressed with xz(1), lzma(1), gzip(1), or bzip2(1). All options
specified are passed directly to grep(1).
If no file is specified, then the standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep(1). When reading from standard input,
gzip(1) and bzip2(1) compressed files are not supported.
If xzgrep is invoked as xzegrep or xzfgrep then egrep(1) or fgrep(1) is used instead of grep(1). The same applies to names lzgrep, lze-
grep, and lzfgrep, which are provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.
ENVIRONMENT
GREP If the GREP environment variable is set, xzgrep uses it instead of grep(1), egrep(1), or fgrep(1).
