not there yet
I'm getting nothing in my .data file.
When I set -x -v, I see that the program is cycling through each FinalReport file just fine, but nothing is getting written. So I'm guessing the problem is with the 'cat'.
(part of the set -x set -v output:
+ for i in './TryingAgain_Files/TryingAgain_FinalReport*.txt'
+ for j in ''\''cat ./SearchPattern13.txt'\'''
+ grep -m 1 cat ./SearchPattern13.txt ./TryingAgain_Files/TryingAgain_FinalReport1095.txt
+ for i in './TryingAgain_Files/TryingAgain_FinalReport*.txt'
+ for j in ''\''cat ./SearchPattern13.txt'\'''
+ grep -m 1 cat ./SearchPattern13.txt ./TryingAgain_Files/TryingAgain_FinalReport1096.txt)
I also have grepped using the SearchPattern13.txt and it does pull out the data (but I stop it because it would take all day).
for i in ./TryingAgain_Files/TryingAgain_FinalReport*.txt
do
for j in 'cat ./SearchPattern13.txt'
do
grep -m 1 $j $i >>650hgdp13.data
done
done

Hi All,
is there a way to extract the line number of an occurrence using grep?
I know that with the -n option it prints out the line number as well.
I would like to assign the line number to a variable.
Thanks,

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.
