# zegrep
> Find extended regular expression patterns in compressed files using `egrep`.
> More information: <https://www.unix.com/man-page/freebsd/1/zegrep/>.
- Search for extended regular expressions (supporting `?`, `+`, `{}`, `()` and `|`) in a compressed file (case-sensitive):
`zegrep "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}`
- Search for extended regular expressions (supporting `?`, `+`, `{}`, `()` and `|`) in a compressed file (case-insensitive):
`zegrep {{[-i|--ignore-case]}} "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}`
- Search for lines that do not match a pattern:
`zegrep {{[-v|--invert-match]}} "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}`
- Print file name and line number for each match:
`zegrep {{[-H|--with-filename]}} {{[-n|--line-number]}} "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}`
- Search for lines matching a pattern, printing only the matched text:
`zegrep {{[-o|--only-matching]}} "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}`
- Recursively search files in a compressed file for a pattern:
`zegrep {{[-r|--recursive]}} "{{search_pattern}}" {{path/to/file}}`
