Grep all files matching partial filename
What would be the easiest way to grep all files within a particular directory that match a partial filename? For example, searching all files that begin with "filename.txt" and are appended with the date they were created. I am using Ksh 88, btw.

I’m trying to modify someone perl script to fix a bug. The piece of code checks that the zone name you want to add is unique. However, when the code runs, it finds a partial match using grep, and decides it already exists, so the “create” command exits.

Hey guys,
I have a file with an ID which I'm using to grep out the original record from another file. Problem is I have special characters in the original file, and grep is returning only a partial record. How can I get around this?
Appreciate your help!

bzegrep
BZGREP(1) General Commands Manual BZGREP(1)
NAME
bzgrep, bzfgrep, bzegrep - search possibly bzip2 compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
bzgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
bzegrep [ egrep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
bzfgrep [ fgrep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Bzgrep is used to invoke the grep on bzip2-compressed files. All 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 bzgrep is invoked as bzegrep or bzfgrep then egrep or fgrep is used instead of grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, bzgrep
uses it as the grep program to be invoked. For example:
for sh: GREP=fgrep bzgrep string files
for csh: (setenv GREP fgrep; bzgrep string files)
