grep particular string from directory in Unix-CodePudding

I have list of compressed files in a directory /var/log/bb e.g. console.log.1.xz, console.log.2.xz etc. I would like to grep a particular string from these files in a single command. Any ideas on how to achieve this

I have been trying like this

sudo xzcat /var/log/bb | grep 'string'

CodePudding user response：

Using find

find /var/log/bb -iname '*.xz' -type f -exec grep 'string' {}

Using grep

$ grep 'string' /var/log/bb/*.xz

CodePudding user response：

Suggesting:

grep -l 'string' $(find /var/log/bb -type f -name "*.xz")
