Need complex script, anyone up for a challenge?

Default shell is /usr/bin/zsh
Script will be running #!/bin/bash

Need to pull information from database while using other scripts already made (not by me).
Ok, so i need a script pulling certain information about a customer's router interfaces.
I am using a ROUTER-DNS-NAME as variable $1
I already figured out how to obtain an output similar to the following from the SCRIPT1 that is already made:

.34
.35

After i receive those numbers, i have to run a separate script using those numbers in the end of the command, here is an example output result needed:
SCRIPT2 $1 ANYTHING.34

Having a little trouble figuring out how to connect those together within one script file.

In order for me to get first numbers i had to do a pretty long set of commands:
SCRIPT2 $1 ANYTHING | grep "`SCRIPT1 $1 | grep -i $1 | grep SOMETHING1 | grep -v NULL | cut -d"(" -f2 | cut -d"." -f1`" | cut -d"r" -f2 | cut -d" " -f1


I have SCRIPT1 interface names within SCRIPT2 to get their numbers (.34, .35 - i need that period!), then use SCRIPT2 back with those numbers.
If i use: SCRIPT2 $1 ANYTHING - this will pull all the interface info.

here is the similar output of SCRIPT1:
NODE IP(DOMAIN) STATE
----------------------------------------------- ------------------ ------
ROUTER-DNS-NAME (INTERFACE0/0) NULL(1) SOMETHING4
ROUTER-DNS-NAME (INTERFACE0/0/0:1) NULL(1) SOMETHING1
ROUTER-DNS-NAME (INTERFACE0/0/0:1.100) IPADDESS(1) SOMETHING1

Much of my script will have to contain the text formatting as per customer table punctuation. None of the names, have any specific lenght, so had to use fields.

Please advise what else i need to explain in order to get some help here.
Thank you.
