Re^3: dynamic zcat and grep

Can you use your zcat in a pipe on the command line? Like

% cat file.gz | zcat | less
[download]

This works on Solaris but if it doesn't work for you it could be that your zcat demands the presence of a terminal as implied by your results.

Cheers,

On the command line I use: `$ zcat file.gz \| grep ...` [download] Which works just fine. Is that the same?	[reply] [d/l]
