Using find to output list of files with specific strings
This is my problem, I am using the following code to extract the file names with specific strings 0.01:
It works wonders with a small sample. However, when I use it in a real scenario it produces an empty file -even though I am sure there are files with the expected string
Am I missing something here? I am pretty sure there should be a better alternative using AWK, I just could not come up with one
Thanks in advance

zgrep
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.
