[SOLVED] grep a pattern in list of gzip files recursively

Issue

I am using the following command on command line for getting the pattern matched lines.

find . -name "*.gz"|xargs gzcat|grep -e "pattern1" -e "pattern2"

i need now to find only the file names where the pattern is present. how can i do it on command line?

grel -l has no use since i am using xargs gzcat before grep

Solution

for i in $(find . -name "*.gz"); do gzcat $i|grep -qe "n1" -e "n2" && echo $i; done
