Thanks for the quick response Corona688, I did check what you asked me to and I found out that the file is compressed file... Please find below for the output of the command
Code:
file D_R_38957222_20111410.txt.gz

Output was as below
Code:
D_R_38957222_20111410.txt.gz: gzip compressed data, from FAT filesystem (MS-DOS, OS/2, NT)

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
