Needs details or clarity
Jan 11, 2019 at 15:39 comment added Praveen K P Kusal, edited the question - to be more specific, i ll state in simpler words here - i need to search some content/string in the zipped folder (.tar.gz) where this zipped folder inturn have the (*.log01, *log02, etc) files inside it. so in actual, i need to search a string/content int he zipped folder log files and should display the file names in which the string exists. hope this is clear now.

Jan 11, 2019 at 15:02 comment added Kusalananda @PraveenKP Could you please edit your question and mention what it is that you expect as output? I see your comment saying "i should get the string 1234536 containing list of files", but I don't understand what you mean by it.

Jan 11, 2019 at 13:35 comment added Praveen K P @Dasel - i would do the tar before if it is one or two files, but i have some hundreds of zipped files where i need to search the string and extract the result.
Jan 11, 2019 at 13:28 comment added Praveen K P the expected result need to be - i should get the string 1234536 containing list of files. zgrep -ia 1234536 PROD_*

Jan 11, 2019 at 12:54 comment added Dasel Thanks @RomeoNinov; I did not saw the name; in that case we need first to know which is expected, as otherwise is difficult to debug. Anyway it would be much easier to do tar -ztvf PROD_009_010919_0110.tar.gz and after that use a normal grep to search the wanted result, but of course the ideal would be to have a sample of the expected output.
Jan 11, 2019 at 12:43 comment added Romeo Ninov @Dasel, based on the filename it seems to be tar-ed before gzip-ed

Jan 11, 2019 at 12:37 comment added Dasel gzip does not zip folders, only files so I suppose that you are using another zipper apart from gz right? Have you checked with gzip -l the content of of your gz?
Jan 11, 2019 at 12:30 comment added Kusalananda What do you want to do? Do you want to extract a piece of text from one of the files in the archive, or do you want to test whether a particular file is part of the archive? In short, what is the expected result?
