pass a variable to sed p in a loop?

drl, This is above and beyond helpful.
Thanks very much,
You were quite right, about the inefficiency.
my data file is 219532, non-delimited records. the list is 15,500.
(and I have dozens of different files I have to do this for)
I'm kindof self taught, and may be going about this all wrong.
first with a cut -b command, then I'm trying to fgrep -n a value and create the list of line numbers.
then return the records that match.
it was taking forever.
I really appreciate if you'd recommend a completely different approach.

This was my first-ever post for help,
and you are the nicest person in the world.

NAME
getds - Create a DS record from DNSKEYing information SYNOPSIS
getds <domain> DESCRIPTION
getds will create a DS record from DNSKEYs for the specified DNS domain. It does this by converting DNSKEYs to DS records using the specified hashing algorithm. The results can then be passed to upstream DNSSEC-supporting parents or to DLV registries. getds will also pull the parent's published DS records and compare them against the existing keys. It will then list any DS records not published in the parent, as well as any DS records that are published in the parent but which don't match an existing key. OPTIONS
getds takes the following options: -a ALGORITHMS --hash-algorithm algorithm ALGORITHMS This option specifies the hash algorithm to use when converting DNSKEYs to DS records. It may be a comma-separated list if multiple algorithms are desired. The algorithms to choose from may be either SHA256 or SHA1. The default is SHA256,SHA1 -z --print-zsks This option causes getds to print ZSK DS records, as well as KSK records. -p --dont-check-parent Instructs getds to not check the records in the parent for their published DS records. -q --quiet Produces quiet output with no explanatory headers. In other words, it only prints the DS records generated from the DNSKEYs. Note: Running with -q implies -p. SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
By default, getds pulls data from the live DNS. If your DNS resolver isn't configured so that this is pulled securely, then the results can't be trusted. COPYRIGHT
