The variable name LINES is reserved. It's to do with the number of lines on a terminal screen.

Try changing the name of the variable.

And the variable TIME - also reserved.

The more I look the more I see.
There is a variable $T , I suspect incorrect substitution in $TIME .

The line "for TIME in" has potential to be too long for the shell depending on how many lines there are in $FILE3 .

TIME(9) 						   BSD Kernel Developer's Manual						   TIME(9)

NAME
boottime, time_second, time_uptime -- system time variables SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/time.h> extern struct timeval boottime; extern time_t time_second; extern time_t time_uptime; DESCRIPTION
The boottime variable holds the system boot time. The time_second variable is the system's ``wall time'' clock to the second. The time_uptime variable is the number of seconds since boot. The bintime(9), getbintime(9), microtime(9), getmicrotime(9), nanotime(9), and getnanotime(9) functions can be used to get the current time more accurately and in an atomic manner. Similarly, the binuptime(9), getbinuptime(9), microuptime(9), getmicrouptime(9), nanouptime(9), and getnanouptime(9) functions can be used to get the time elapse since boot more accurately and in an atomic manner. The boottime variable may be read and written without special precautions. SEE ALSO
