Search for exact string

Hi All,


I need to search in a csv file as mentioend in the Appendix A for a exact word lets "TEST".


But using teh below command iam getting TEST1234, TEST12 and otehr entries as well.

the problem is i check this condition to check to add a record to a table by making sure it does not exits. But since it reurns TEST1234, i am not able to ad the record in Table.

is_there=$(awk -F ',' '{print$1}' test.dat | grep "TEST" )

Can you please a command preferable awk , which could search for the exact patterm.


Thanks a lot in anticpation.


Appendix A:

"TEST1234", " test desc"
"TEST12", " test desc"
"TABC123", " test desc"
"TBC", " test desc"
"12345", " test desc"
