That worked...but it was for the exact match.

Sorry I forgot to mention before this.

Is it possible to out put if if we a portion of it matched.

for ex. if my pattern given is ERT, can we adjust the code to match every text that contains ERT as core .

ie if I specify the pattern, ERT, whether it would output the text that contains WERTF and SERTE and AERTk and all

As if in regular expression.
Please let me know.

Or Please let me know how to implement the best regular expression in awk to solve this problem.i.e matching some core and ignoring the tails.

Please let me know.
