You are right. You didnt explain in your post where you are going to replace your grep code.

Try this
Code:
ignre=${ignore[@]}
termReport.pl < $4 | dos2ux | head -2000 | awk -v ignre="${ignre}" -v searchStr="$2" '  BEGIN { foundTermEvent=0; 66 endMarker="'"${endMarker}"'"; } 
............
#{ print $2 } 
#print " ########################## " 
# fi

if ( ignre ~ searchStr ) { print "found $2 in array ignore[]" }
else { print "did not find $2 in array ignore[]"
