Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Performance issue while using find command Post 302718145 by jim mcnamara on Friday 19th of October 2012 08:04:09 AM

What you posted has some problems. Since the script works correctly but slowly could you please post exactly what code you have.

Also, are you repeating the grep over the same files 3-4 times?

Code:
find /path/to/files -name '*.log'  -exec grep 'pattern'

is another way to grep files. And your xargs approach is another way as well.

ZGREP(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						  ZGREP(1)

NAME
zgrep, zegrep, zfgrep -- print lines matching a pattern in gzip-compressed files SYNOPSIS
zgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [files ...] zegrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...] zfgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...] DESCRIPTION
zgrep runs grep(1) on files or stdin, if no files argument is given, after decompressing them with zcat(1). The grep-flags and pattern arguments are passed on to grep(1). If an -e flag is found in the grep-flags, zgrep will not look for a pattern argument. zegrep calls egrep(1), while zfgrep calls fgrep(1). EXIT STATUS
In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned, otherwise 0. SEE ALSO
egrep(1), fgrep(1), grep(1), gzip(1), zcat(1) AUTHORS
