yes it works but i made a mistake before.
i want to go into the if statement in case that the line doesnt include the "password" entry.
so the command should search if the line does not include the entry "password" and if this is true then it does something. if is not true then it doesnt do anything.
sorry for the mess up

asadmin-list-file-users(1AS)					   User Commands				      asadmin-list-file-users(1AS)

NAME

       asadmin-list-file-users, list-file-users - lists the file users

SYNOPSIS

       list-file-users	--user	admin_user  [--password  admin_password]  [--host localhost] [--port 4848] [--secure|-s] [--passwordfile filename]
       [--terse=false] [--echo=false] [--interactive=true] [--authrealmname auth_realm_name]

DESCRIPTION

       Lists all the file users. If the auth_realm_name is not specified, an entry is created in the default keyfile. If auth_realm_name is speci-
       fied,  an  entry  is  created in the keyfile where the auth-realm name in the domain.xml file points to.This command is supported in remote
       mode only.

OPTIONS

       --user		       authorized domain application server administrative username.

       --password	       password to administer the domain application server.

       --host		       machine name where the domain application server is running.

       --port		       port number of the domain application server listening for administration requests.

       --secure 	       if true, uses SSL/TLS to communicate with the domain application server.

       --passwordfile	       file containing the domain application server password.

       --terse		       indicates that any output data must be very concise, typically avoiding human-friendly sentences and favoring well-
			       formatted data for consumption by a script. Default is false.

       --echo		       setting to true will echo the command line statement on the standard output. Default is false.

       --interactive	       if set to true (default), only the required password options are prompted.

       --authrealmname	       name, in the domain.xml file,  where you have different stores for file auth realm.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Using the list-file-users command

       asadmin> list-file-users --user admin1 --password adminadmin1
       --host pigeon --port 5001 --authrealmname auth-realm1
       Command list-file-user executed successfully

EXIT STATUS

       0		       command executed successfully

       1		       error in executing the command
