- Search for lines that do not match a pattern:
zegrep --invert-match "search_pattern" path/to/file
- Print file name and line number for each match:
zegrep --with-filename --line-number "search_pattern" path/to/file
- Search for lines matching a pattern, printing only the matched text:
zegrep --only-matching "search_pattern" path/to/file
- Recursively search files in a compressed file for a pattern:
zegrep --recursive "search_pattern" path/to/file
