Hi,
It worked. But the only thing is that when I put the same code in a function it doesnt work. It says test argument expected in the line where i check for the existence of the file

v=$1
if [ $v = -f ]
then
echo "ok"

if [ -f $2 ]
then
echo "exists"

if [ -r $2 ]
then
echo "Read permissions exists for the file"


sed '2,2d' $2 > sdh_reconfig_modify_dl.tmp
more sdh_reconfig_modify_dl.tmp | grep -q "^|"
if (($?!=0))
then
echo "ok"

while read line
do
tmp1=`echo ${#line}`
line=`echo $line | sed 's/|//g'`
cnt=$(($tmp1 - `echo ${#line}`))

if [ \( $cnt -ne 1 \) ]
then
echo "The fields in the file must be seperated by a |"
exit 1
echo "File format is correct. Proceeding for further execution..."
fi
done < sdh_reconfig_new_dl.tmp

tr '|' ' ' < sdh_reconfig_new_dl.tmp > sdh_reconfig_new_dl1.tmp
exec < sdh_reconfig_new_dl1.tmp
read dl1 dl2
echo $dl1
echo $dl2


else
echo "File cannot start with a |"
exit
fi


else
echo "The file doesnot have read permissions"
exit
fi

else
echo "The file that you have entered does not exist"
exit
fi
else
echo "The filename must be preceeded by a -f option"
exit
fi

spfquery.pyspf

spfquery.pyspf(1)					      General Commands Manual						 spfquery.pyspf(1)

NAME

       spfquery.pyspf - pure-Python spfquery script

VERSION

       2.0.4

DESCRIPTION

       The spfquery script is a Python reimplementination of Wayne Schlitt's spfquery command line tool.

USAGE

       The spfquery script is called with a number of possible options.  Options can either use standard '-' prefix or be PERL style long options,
       '--'.  Supported options are:

	"--file" or "-file" {filename}: Read the query (or queries) from the designated
	   file.  If {filename} is '0', then query inputs are read from STDIN.

	"--ip" or "-ip" {address}: Client IP address to use for SPF check.

	"--sender" or "-sender" {Mail From address}: Envelope sender from which mail was
	   received.

	"--helo" or "-helo" {client hostname}: HELO/EHLO name used by SMTP client.

	"--local" or "-local" {local policy SPF string}: Additional SPF mechanisms to be
	   checked on the basis of local policy.  Note that local policy matches are
	   not strictly SPF results.  Local policy processing is not defined in RFC
	   4408.  Result may vary among SPF implementations.

	"--rcpt-to" or "rcpt-to" {rcpt-to address - if available}: Receipt to address is
	   not used for actual SPF processing, but if available it can be useful for
	   logging, spf-received header construction, and providing useful rejection
	   messages when messages are rejected due to SPF.

	"--default-explanation" or "-default-explanation" {explanation string}: Default
	   Fail explanation string to be used.

	"--sanitize" or "-sanitize" and "--debug" or "-debug": These options are no-op
	   in the Python implementation, but are valid inputs to provide compatibliity
	   with input files developed to work with the original PERL and C spfquery
	   implementations.

EXAMPLE

	spfquery --sender scott@example.com --ip 192.0.2.0 [other options ...]
