Unix / Linux: cat .GZ Compressed Text File On Screen

Best/Tutorial

1 / 2

To display the contents of a .gz compressed text file on the screen in Unix or Linux, you can use the following command:

zcat file.gz

The zcat command decompresses the file and sends the output to the standard output, which is usually the screen. If you want to save the decompressed output to a file, you can use a pipe to redirect the output to a file:

zcat file.gz > decompressed_file.txt
