Creating a loop to go through grep output
I'm doing this script in my Unix class and I've come to a roadblock. The purpose of this script is to search users directories for files that contain bad words i.e kill murder bomb etc., and then be able to ignore legitimate files with each use.
I got the searching and ignoring part down but now I need to put the info into the format my teacher wants, currently my output reads like this:
/home/badboy/bad: I want to kill him
/home/goodboy/good: I could kill for a pot pie
I however need it to look something like this
Username: badboy, Line with bad word found: I want to kill him, and Path and file name: /home/badboy/bad
The part I'm stuck on is creating a loop to go through each line of the grep output and cutting out want I want into variables to place in the proper format.

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.
