- 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 {{[-c|--count]}} {{search_string}} {{path/to/file}}`
- Show the line number in the file along with the matching lines:
`zfgrep {{[-n|--line-number]}} {{search_string}} {{path/to/file}}`
- Display all lines except those that contain the search string:
`zfgrep {{[-v|--invert-match]}} {{search_string}} {{path/to/file}}`
- List only filenames whose content matches the search string at least once:
`zfgrep {{[-l|--files-with-matches]}} {{search_string}} {{path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ...}}`
