Grep from different folder
Hi All,

Need your assistance/advice.

I have 4 folders but using same name log file.

/user/access/server1
/user/access/server2
/user/access/server3
/user/access/server4

filename is access.log.20060716.gz

I want to grep the transaction id in the log file but I want to do simultaneously instead do 4 times.

Normal i did like this; gzcat access.log.20060716.gz | grep txid=1234567

Hope anyone can help me.

It's not clear to me where the 4 folders come into the equation. Does the log file exist in all folders? ( There are 4 copies of the log file, one in each folder? )

If so, you can do something like
Code:
gzcat folder1/logfile.gz folder2/logfile.gz ... | grep expression

Or you can decompress the files and do
Code:
grep expression folder1/logfile folder2/logfile ...
