What about using fgrep or -F flag?
Maybe something like this... If the fixed string "Not ok to proceed" is not found in the file, then just check if "ok to Proceed" exists; if it does, then generate the output.
Try with fgrep instead of grep -F if it doesn't work properly.

gzgrep
GZGREP(1) General Commands Manual GZGREP(1)NAME
gzgrep, gzegrep, gzfgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
gzgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
gzgrep is used to invoke the grep on compress'ed or gzip'ed files. All options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is speci-
fied, then the standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and
fed to grep.
If gzgrep is invoked as gzegrep or gzfgrep then egrep or fgrep is used instead of grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, gzgrep
uses it as the grep program to be invoked. For example:
for sh: GREP=fgrep gzgrep string files
for csh: (setenv GREP fgrep; gzgrep string files)
