bzegrep

Find extended regex patterns in bzip2 compressed files using egrep. More information: https://manned.org/bzegrep.

• Search for extended regex (supporting ?, +, {}, () and |) in a compressed file (case-sensitive):

bzegrep "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}

• Search for extended regex (supporting ?, +, {}, () and |) in a compressed file (case-insensitive):

bzegrep {{[-i|--ignore-case]}} "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}

• Search for lines that do not match a pattern:

bzegrep {{[-v|--invert-match]}} "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}

• Print file name and line number for each match:

bzegrep {{[-H|--with-filename]}} {{[-n|--line-number]}} "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}

• Search for lines matching a pattern, printing only the matched text:

bzegrep {{[-o|--only-matching]}} "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}

• Recursively search files in a bzip2 compressed tar archive for a pattern:

bzegrep {{[-r|--recursive]}} "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}
