Can you perform a recursive search within a tgz file?

edit

Yes, it is possible to perform a recursive search within a tgz file. One way to do this is to first extract the contents of the tgz file using a tool like tar, and then perform the search on the extracted files using a tool like grep. Here is an example command:

tar -xvzf file.tgz && grep -r "search_term" extracted_folder/

This command will extract the contents of file.tgz into a folder named extractedfolder, and then perform a recursive search for "searchterm" within all the files in extracted_folder.
