Top Forums Programming Print only some strings from an output Post 302802873 by Hornys on Sunday 5th of May 2013 09:27:56 AM

I'm sorry you are right, I made some changes in my script, I actually need to use the output of a "find" for example:
Code:
find "$DIRECTORY" -type f

prints:
Code:
/dir1/dir2/file1
/dir1/dir2/file2
/dir1/dir2/file3
/dir1/dir2/file4

and use EACH LINE as input for a grep, because I want to use grep to search content in each file inside the output of my "find" command.

thanks

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. AUTHOR
