Search and Parse string from inside a File
Hello,
I barely know the basics, but I am very determined to learn. I want to parse a few characters from each row, use that string to search another file and display the line number where I found the value in the file. I don't know if this can all be done on the command line, so I am creating a shell script that does this so far:

DIR = /cygdrive/c/temp/9*.txt
for item in parseFile.txt
do
foundValue = $item //do not know what command to use to search for a
//value and to parse from the file.
egrep -l "$item" $DIR //how do I display the line number where I found
//the item
done

Thanks for your help! Smilie

       install-info [OPTION]... [INFO-FILE [DIR-FILE]]

DESCRIPTION

       Install or delete dir entries from INFO-FILE in the Info directory file DIR-FILE.

	      delete existing entries for INFO-FILE from DIR-FILE; don't insert any new entries.

       --dir-file=NAME
	      specify file name of Info directory file.  This is equivalent to using the DIR-FILE argument.

       --entry=TEXT
	      insert  TEXT as an Info directory entry.	TEXT should have the form of an Info menu item line plus zero or more extra lines starting
	      with whitespace.	If you specify more than one entry, they are all added.  If you don't specify any  entries,  they  are	determined
	      from information in the Info file itself.

       --help display this help and exit.

       --info-file=FILE
	      specify Info file to install in the directory.  This is equivalent to using the INFO-FILE argument.

       --info-dir=DIR

       --section=SEC

	      the sections.  If you don't specify any sections, they are determined from information in the Info file itself.

	      display version information and exit.
