Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All,
Please find my piece of code below. I am trying to grep the word SUCCESS from $LOGFILE and storing in the grepvar variable. And i am placing that variable in a file. Now if i open the file, i can see the four lines but not in seperate four line s but in a paragraph. If am mailing that log file to my mail its displaying as a paragraph.
Now i need that four lines a four line not as a paragraph.

Code:

export grepvar=`grep -i "SUCCESS" ${LOGFILE}` 
echo $grepvar >> ${MAILLOG}

Please help me in this.

Thanks in advance.

Quote the variable:

Code:

export grepvar=`grep -i "SUCCESS" ${LOGFILE}` 
echo "$grepvar" >> ${MAILLOG}

Please see RESULT STORED IN THE variable.
Synch happend before shutdown and the synch is SUCCESS for Affinity Database Startup happend after the split and the split is in SUCCESS State

I hope somebody can follow this, but it's not me...

What has this to do with your first question?

I supose tha you need the variable, because if not the case the more easy is

Code:

grep -i "SUCCESS" ${LOGFILE} >> ${MAILLOG}

well if yo need the var then this code put in the var an in the file

Code:

export grepvar=`grep -i "SUCCESS" ${LOGFILE}| tee -a  ${MAILLOG}`

Hi The above code dint work.

Please see my output below. The SUCCESS word has come twice in the log file. but when i am trying to mail that logfile, its coming in one line.
How to display it in two lines.

What Operating System are you using?
How are you sending the mail?
How are you reading the mail?

If you are reading the mail with Microsoft Office Outlook, look at the following setting in that program:
Tools / Options / Email Options / "Remove extra line breaks in plain text messages".
If that option is set, uncheck the box.
