how to grep the contents of a variable..

Hello All,


I've written a script to collect all audit logs files; now i want to see only the files from it which contains certain x tablenames. I've stored all the tablenames in a log file and using it through variable in a script (ex:below)

Code:
$ more tablenames.log (this is just a samle tables there are more than 500 tables to search)
HRC1002
HRC1206
HRC1212
HRS1000
HRS1002
HRS1200
HRS1201

In a script:

Code:
TABLENAMES=/tmp/tablenames.log
SOURCE_FILES=/tmp/sys_audit_files.tmp
 
ls -1tr ${ORACLE_HOME}/rdbms/audit/*.aud > ${SOURCE_FILES}
(which collects more than 200 audit log files; and now i want to use a grep statment in a below for loop to search the tablenames.log file)
 
for i in `cat ${SOURCE_FILES}` ; do
    cat $i |  grep ?????? >> $LOGFILE
done

How do we use a variable or a logfile to grep

thanks in advance..

UNBUFFER(1)						      General Commands Manual						       UNBUFFER(1)

NAME
unbuffer - unbuffer output SYNOPSIS
unbuffer program [ args ] INTRODUCTION
unbuffer disables the output buffering that occurs when program output is redirected from non-interactive programs. For example, suppose you are watching the output from a fifo by running it through od and then more. od -c /tmp/fifo | more You will not see anything until a full page of output has been produced. You can disable this automatic buffering as follows: unbuffer od -c /tmp/fifo | more Normally, unbuffer does not read from stdin. This simplifies use of unbuffer in some situations. To use unbuffer in a pipeline, use the -p flag. Example: process1 | unbuffer -p process2 | process3 CAVEATS
unbuffer -p may appear to work incorrectly if a process feeding input to unbuffer exits. Consider: process1 | unbuffer -p process2 | process3 If process1 exits, process2 may not yet have finished. It is impossible for unbuffer to know long to wait for process2 and process2 may not ever finish, for example, if it is a filter. For expediency, unbuffer simply exits when it encounters an EOF from either its input or process2. In order to have a version of unbuffer that worked in all situations, an oracle would be necessary. If you want an application-specific solution, workarounds or hand-coded Expect may be more suitable. For example, the following example shows how to allow grep to finish pro- cessing when the cat before it finishes first. Using cat to feed grep would never require unbuffer in real life. It is merely a place- holder for some imaginary process that may or may not finish. Similarly, the final cat at the end of the pipeline is also a placeholder for another process. $ cat /tmp/abcdef.log | grep abc | cat abcdef xxxabc defxxx $ cat /tmp/abcdef.log | unbuffer grep abc | cat $ (cat /tmp/abcdef.log ; sleep 1) | unbuffer grep abc | cat abcdef xxxabc defxxx $ BUGS
