I am trying to extract information in my logs for a abuse department and am 
using the code:

Code:

zcat /var/log/messages.*?.gz | grep 212.56.68.108 >> /home/mike/abuse1

The logs are standard: messages.??.gz

However, when I examine the output, it starts on the 1st may, however the logs 
contain details from the 25th Febuary. What am I doing wrong?
