zfgrep

Matches fixed strings in possibly compressed files. Equivalent to grep -F with input decompressed first if necessary. More information: https://manned.org/zfgrep.
  • Search for an exact string in a file:
    zfgrep {{search_string}} {{path/to/file}}
  • Count the number of lines that match the given string in a file:
    zfgrep --count {{search_string}} {{path/to/file}}
  • Show the line number in the file along with the matching lines:
    zfgrep --line-number {{search_string}} {{path/to/file}}
  • Display all lines except those that contain the search string:
    zfgrep --invert-match {{search_string}} {{path/to/file}}
  • List only filenames whose content matches the search string at least once:
    zfgrep --files-with-matches {{search_string}} {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}
