    1     0 root     /sbin/init                   0.0 02:25 Ss
    2     0 root     [kthreadd]
# more test.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
print "Enter the PID :";
my $pid = <STDIN>;
chomp $pid;
open (IN , "tes.txt");
while (<IN>) {
   print if (/^\s*$pid\s/);
   last;
}
close IN;
exit;
# ./test.pl
Enter the PID :1
#
# perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.8 built for i586-linux-thread-multi

sorry that i ddint specify clearly... is there any way of either using awk or grep to retrive only the result from the user input?

eg. the user enter "1" and it matches from the data file pid column. It will display only the whole line of the matches.

Thanks ghostdog74, I owe you one. Corrected code:

Code:
use strict;
use warnings;
print "Enter the PID :";
my $pid = <STDIN>;
chomp $pid;
open (IN , "tes.txt") or die "$!";
while (<IN>) {
   if (/^\s*$pid\s/) {
      print;
      last;
   }
}
close IN;
exit;

Thumbs up Added the exception handling part, try this....
When executing the script for a wrong PID, the error " -: ".

When the varaible linenum is having a null value, we get the above error.

To overcome this, we need put a exception. I have corrected the code.
Please check this.

Code:
echo "Enter the PID :"
read pid
linenum=`cat tes.txt | tr -s " " "|" | cut -d"|" -f2 |grep -n $pid`
if [[ $linenum != '' ]]
then
cat tes.txt | head -$linenum | tail -1
else
echo "Incorrect option... Please try again."
fi
If you get any errors, please send the input file & execution steps.

For your reference, u have attached the my exeution steps.

==========
Thanks,
Karthikeyan.
