Dear Kesari,

I am still getting the same error message after grep -n

expr: non-numeric argument
++ strow=
+++ echo 'sed -n p help.txt'
++ myline='sed -n p help.txt'
++ for i in '`grep -n tre help.txt`'
+++ expr % - 2
expr: syntax error
++ strow=
+++ echo 'sed -n p help.txt'
++ myline='sed -n p help.txt'
++ for i in '`grep -n tre help.txt`'
+++ expr tre - 2
expr: non-numeric argument
++ strow=



Please suggest....


Thanks a lot.
