String search and generating file

Hi Gurus,

I have a requirement as below

I have text file a.txt which contains

Code:

hi hello 
process update
status
Output for file Ok to Proceed no issues good
data arrangement

My requirement here is i need to read the file and check for the words
"OK to Proceed" and if it is available need to generate an indicator file called
"Go.txt"

IF else no file should not be generated.

Here one more thing to be considered is, file also contains "Not Ok to Proceed" sometimes if the process is not gone thru well.

Basically i need to generate an indicator file, if the process is OK by searching "Ok to Proceed" string or else not generating the file if it contains "Not ok to Proceed"

I am trying following code but not succesfull upto now

Code:

#!/bin/ksh
DFT_VALUE='OK to Proceed'
ACTUAL_VALUE=`egrep 'OK to Proceed' respectivefolder/a.txt`
if [$DFT_VALUE = $ACTUAL_VALUE] then
  touch a.txt
else
  exit
fi

Here my problem is how to get only the string from the file to comapre with the variable.

Any suggestions or code will be appreciated

Thanks in advance,
San

Thanks in Advance
Sandeep

WEAVE(1)                                                      General Commands Manual                                                     WEAVE(1)

NAME

       weave - translate WEB to TeX

SYNOPSIS

       weave [-x] webfile[.web] [changefile[.ch]]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive.  The complete documentation for this version of TeX can be found in the info file or manual
       Web2C: A TeX implementation.

       The weave program is used to create a TeX file for viewing a Web program.  It takes appropriate care of typographic details like page  lay-
       out  and  the use of indentation, italics, boldface, etc., and it supplies extensive cross-index information that it gathers automatically.
       The command line arguments are the same as for tangle except for the option: -x says to omit the index, module name list, and table of con-
       tents  pages.   (A  CONTENTS.tex  file  will still be written when the TeX file is processed, however, unless some macros in webmac.tex are
       redefined.)

       The output TeX file name is formed by adding .tex to the root of the Web file name.

       There are several macros that probably should be redefined by the programmer at the beginning of the Web file.  It is a good  idea  to  set
       	itle  to  the  name  of the program.  And, to cause output of only changed modules, one can say letmaybe=iffalse (usually as the first
       change in the change file).

ENVIRONMENT

       The environment variable WEBINPUTS is used to search for the input files, or the system default if WEBINPUTS is not set.   See  tex(1)  for
       the details of the searching.

FILES

       $TEXMFMAIN/tex/plain/base/webmac.tex
           TeX macros used by weave output.
