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. 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 the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

Hello everyone.
I would like to know if I can use grep or zgrep to search for a particular pattern then print the x number of lines after the pattern was found.
Lets say for example a pattern was found on line 3, I wanted the output to show lines 3, 4 and 5.
