assuming ignore list is created with ignore extensions on each line .. like suggested by Chubler_XL.. here is my take.. i directly writing here so there can be syntactical error.
I am not sure if "grep -v" supports "-f" switch but it should .. if destination is fixed then you could hardcode the destination
Try :
- Create ignore list in some other location than /tmp
- Add some validation
- run in debug mode if it doesnt work

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 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.
