Hello.

There are several library where there are compressed files. I have to decompress all files that start with 'XA%' and retrieve all rows that contain 'CSSF' and copy this to a file.

Can anyone help me? Thank you in advance Smilie

Members who create a topic need help, so it's not an usefull title.
Try something like that
Code:
uncompress -fc XA%* | grep CSSF > outfile

Thank you very much.
But -exe does not
with find . -name "XA*" -> I have the name of the file like XA*
I want to unzip all the file of the list
and after retrieve all rows that contain 'CSSF'

The '-exec zgrep' option retrieves all rows containing 'CSSF'.
The files XA* remain compressed (like in my solution).
