Thanks ZAZZYBOB for you help!!!
This option: egrep -i -n error /path/to/test/cl_less*.out is working great with files that have the same name or follow a pattern.
But if I try the same option with files of different names it's not working, I tried this:
egrep -i -n error /path/to/test/cl_less.out more.out test.out
but it errors and it seems to find only the first file in the sequence, saying it can not open the other files.
I can not egrep for *.out because there would be too many files, is there any changes I can do so that it will change directory and egrep several files with different names?
NOTE: if I change directory first then egrep -i -n error cl_less.out more.out test.out it does work, but I want to be able to change directory at the same time.

your help is very much appreciated!!

NAME
gzgrep, gzegrep, gzfgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression SYNOPSIS
gzgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename... DESCRIPTION
gzgrep is used to invoke the grep on compress'ed or gzip'ed files. All options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is speci- fied, 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 gzgrep is invoked as gzegrep or gzfgrep then egrep or fgrep is used instead of grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, gzgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked. For example: for sh: GREP=fgrep gzgrep string files for csh: (setenv GREP fgrep; gzgrep string files) AUTHOR
