The logic is very simple but I can't seem to make this work in Korn shell.
I need to check two files to make sure there is no errors. Each of the file will have number. For example, first file btt.txt will have 112 which is good. Second file bgg.txt will have 6 which is also good. If I see any other numbers other than 112 and 6 than we have a issue.
Please put code inside [code] tags.

All cat does is display the contents of the file. If you want to use the contents, read it into a variable:

messages -- libbash library that implements a set of functions to print standard status messages
SYNOPSIS
printOK [indent]
printFAIL [indent]
printNA [indent]
printATTN [indent]
printWAIT [indent]
DESCRIPTION
General
messages is a collection of functions to print standard status messages - those [ OK ] and [FAIL] messages you see during Linux boot process.
The function list:
printOK Prints a standard [ OK ] message (green)
printFAIL Prints a standard [FAIL] message (red)
printNA Prints a standard [ N/A] message (yellow)
printATTN Prints a standard [ATTN] message (yellow)
printWAIT Prints a standard [WAIT] message (yellow)
Detailed interface description follows.
indent
Column to move to before printing.
Default indent is calculated as TTY_WIDTH-10. If current tty width can not be determined (for example, in case of serial console), it
defaults to 80, so default indent is 80-10=10

printNA [indent]
