maybe zgrep is available on your box?

Thank you all!

Just a chicken & egg followup, particularly on the grep...

if you want to find a number in a large file, why would you grep for it? If you know the number to grep for, you already have it.

1) To find out if it exists or not?

2) If the compressed file is text, find the line number and/or joined/attached/connected information
