To perhaps help work around the issue you have raised I'll just suggest that 'zmore' and 'zless' can be (ab)used in this case. They are both the same. And also though you mentioned 'zgrep' it can also be used early in the pipeline. Try it this way. zmore xyz.log* | awk ... zless xyz.log* | awk ... zgrep whatever xyz.log* | awk ... It's somewhat backing into the solution but perhaps useful for you in the toolbox regardless. Bob
