Hello AAhinka,

Not sure about your complete requirement, but could you please try echo $1 in place of grep $1but this is a wild guess only, let us know the input with complete expected output, so that we can help you more on this.


Thanks,
R. Singh

for i in `grep $1 | cut -d "/" -f 5 | cut -d" " -f2`
do
fgrep $i $1 | grep 'with value' | cut -d "|" -f 2 3
done

$ tp.ksh test_data.plan_49989_2015-05-01-00-13-38.log

grep $1 will wait forever for data from standard input.
