Grepping more than one word
Dear Experts,
Need your help.
Typically we use "grep" to search and display a pattern in a txt file.
However, here what we want is, we want to grep a line which contains 4 words any where in a line.
For example.
File has 10,000,000 lines in it out of which there is a particular line which has following four words randomly palced in the line with randon sequence.
Lakmay, lorial, nivia and lotus.
That line we need to grep.
Please help.
Anu

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.
