# bzgrep
> Find patterns in `bzip2` compressed files using `grep`.
> More information: <https://manned.org/bzgrep>.
- Search for a pattern within a compressed file:
`bzgrep "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}`
- Recursively search files in a bzip2 compressed `.tar` archive for a pattern:
`bzgrep {{[-r|--recursive]}} "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/tar_file}}`
- Print 3 lines of [C]ontext around, [B]efore, or [A]fter each match:
`bzgrep {{--context|--before-context|--after-context}} 3 "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}`
- Print file name and line number for each match:
`bzgrep {{[-H|--with-filename]}} {{[-n|--line-number]}} "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}`
- Search for lines matching a pattern, printing only the matched text:
`bzgrep {{[-o|--only-matching]}} "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}`
- Search `stdin` for lines that do not match a pattern:
`cat {{path/to/bz_compressed_file}} | bzgrep {{[-v|--invert-match]}} "{{search_pattern}}"`
- Use extended `regex` (supports `?`, `+`, `{}`, `()`, and `|`), in case-insensitive mode:
`bzgrep {{[-E|--extended-regexp]}} {{[-i|--ignore-case]}} "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}`
