Hi ,

Is there anyway to ignore 1 file and grep in other files?

Hi Muktha,

Prepare list with the filenames - find/ls to temp file, remove unwanted files from the list (skip it) and perform search/grep for patterns.

Why do you think there is a way that is much faster than zcat?

zcat will of course do I/O to a pipe and that would be wasteful.

If using real shell you can use patterns like !(foo) to get all but foo.
