Question How do I search a File for a string exact match

Hi, Can you help please.

I have the following comand:
if [[ `grep $l_string $l_tmp_file | tr -d ' '` = $l_string ]]; then
l_valid_string="Y"
fi
The problem I am trying to solve is that my l_string = ABC and my file contains
ABC
ABC_EFG

I only want back the value ABC exact match.
