Thanks Funsken.

I am trying to write a script using your code as below but it is not working.

Code:
awk '!/^#|^$/{print $3}' $APPL_TOP/admin/applcust.txt > /opt/sysdba/bin/custfile.txt
fname=/opt/sysdba/bin/custfile.txt
read fname
while read line
do
  echo $line
  l=$line
  patch_text=`grep $l $APPL_TOP/admin/ohfdv2/log/u9062727.lgi`
  echo $patch_text
done

Could you please help?

Thanks,

Sam

OK, found it.
Code:
for i in `awk '!/^#|^$/{print $3}' $APPL_TOP/admin/applcust.txt`
do
  echo $i
  patch_text=`grep $i $APPL_TOP/admin/ohfdv2/log/u9062727.lgi|grep Copying`
done

Thanks again!

ZGREP(1)                                                      General Commands Manual                                                     ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep  options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
