This is in turn means that i can no longer use a command like "zcat | grep searchstringfromoutputemail" as it just renders a "not in gzip format" message. So my question really is ... is there an alternative to zcat that can read .bz2 compression or do i have to go back to unziping to a directory first and deleting it afterwards ? regards, rob (aka peas) ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" bzcat would seem to be part of the base system...
