The grep will hang if ERRORS.txt file > 100 lines

Thanks


ERRORS=./ERRORS.txt
EXCLUDEERRORFILE=./excludeERR.txt

cat $ERRORS | while read ERROR_LINE
do
echo +++ $ERROR_LINE
cat $EXCLUDEERRORFILE | while read EXCLUDE_LINE
do
EXCLUDE_LINE=1
print $ERROR_LINE |grep "$EXCLUDE_LINE"
continue 2
done
echo here
done

EXCLUDE_LINE=1 I put in just for testing

I have found a work around using awk instead cat to read the file. A little awkward but worked for me.
Thanks
