Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Problem renaming files on Solaris 10 server Post 302972269 by BRH on Tuesday 3rd of May 2016 03:30:03 PM

Thanks Don, your solution is perfect!

The log files are pure unix. I'm familiar with the Linux grep '-A and -B' to find the lines leading and trailing the context of the matching lines. As far as I know the Solaris grep does not have that function, so I used ggrep.

Ugh! Do you know VBscript? I'm attempting to run this renaming command from a VBscript in SecureCRT and get a compilation error:

Code:
Microsoft VBScript error
Error: Invalid character

No worries, had to remove all the double quotes, it works just fine now.

Thanks again Don.

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
