The thing is that if I bracket --help, grep does not run the --help command line option.
But doing
does run the help option of grep.
Using the brackets did not require use of [-]- or -- in front of the pattern.
Correct me if I am wrong on the following:
In the regular expression [-]-help, the - inside the square brackets matches a character set which contains a single character ( - in this case) and the literal string "-help".
I originally had a shell script that did a grep 10 times to pull out the number of times a certain pattern occured in a file: ie...
aOccurances=`grep aPattern file|wc -l`
bOccurances=`grep bPattern file|wc -l`
...
...

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.
