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...

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.

zegrep
ZGREP(1) BSD General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)NAME
zgrep, zegrep, zfgrep -- print lines matching a pattern in gzip-compressed files
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [files ...]
zegrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...]
zfgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
zgrep runs grep(1) on files or stdin, if no files argument is given, after decompressing them with zcat(1).
The grep-flags and pattern arguments are passed on to grep(1). If an -e flag is found in the grep-flags, zgrep will not look for a pattern
argument.
zegrep calls egrep(1), while zfgrep calls fgrep(1).
EXIT STATUS
In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned, otherwise 0.
