KSH Programming to read and mail fields
I have a file with the following values:

File name à a.log (bulk file with 100+ lines with the similar format)
aaaa|bbbb|cccc|dddd|eeee|ffff|gggg|hhhh|iiii|
aaaa|bbbb|cccc|dddd|eeee|ffff|gggg|hhhh|iiii|
aaaa|bbbb|cccc|dddd|eeee|ffff|gggg|hhhh|iiii|
aaaa|bbbb|cccc|dddd|eeee|ffff|gggg|hhhh|iiii|
aaaa|bbbb|cccc|dddd|eeee|ffff|gggg|hhhh|iiii|
aaaa|bbbb|cccc|dddd|eeee|ffff|gggg|hhhh|iiii|

My ksh script should do the following:
1. Open the file
2. Read the file and grep ‘gggg’ field from the last 2 lines
3. Send it to a maillist
Please let me know the basic syntax of how to do this.
