Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting For Loop in shellscript - Printing Output for every iteration Post 302741225 by DGPickett on Friday 7th of December 2012 03:50:58 PM

I never used $? to test a grep in a `subshell`. Does it return the grep $? in both ksh and bash? I would test 'if [ "$CLOSED_OUT" != "" ]' and put $VGLIST in the message. VGLIST seems a strange name for a list item.

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. AUTHOR
