Hi Sebastian, I'm not sure what you want to do, but I my guts tells me that you want to re-invent the wheel as you stated that you want to replace several tools with ZSH. If you can achieve your goal by calling a GNU tool, you should do that. These are mature tools and there is nothing wrong about using them. (And it's certainly a benefit that you don't have to maintain them.) Calling "grep" is also more understandable by everyone than the pattern you gave in your first email.
