Hi bakunin, it's for a C program I worte, I want to grep the results specifically.

1. What I really want to achieve is find all the lines (I can figure out the piping of the sort stuff) that start with a capital at the beginning, have a 't', 'c', or 'z' anywhere in the word (although I know that part is correct, and the letters I just picked arbitrarily as part of the test) and then has an even number in the 6th field.

2. Sample input from my program would be like:
Shawn 12345 24 567 5 10102
Matthew 12 5467 1111 9 1919
Catherine 555 1234 1 1 33142
thomas 66 7777 087 33 12121

3. Sample output:
Catherine 555 1234 1 1 33142

4. The output only deviates in that I don't get ALL the lines because I compared the file I am grepping and the file I appended to and not all were there.

So I have for the grep:

grep "^[A-Z].*[tcz].* [1-9][02468][0-9]*$" /home/public/data.txt

Thanks for the replies.

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.
