Help on grep in a do while loop
So this is what I'm trying to do:

I have a file called registry.txt which has a list of registry entries I want to search for.

I have another file called inctrl.txt on which I want to perform the search on.

Here's the example contents of registry.txt
Code:
SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center

Here's the example contents of inctrl.txt
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\AntiVirusDisableNotify!=dword:0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Wondows\WindowsUpdate\DoNotAllowxps2!=dword:0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Policies\Explorer!=dword:0

Here's the script which is supposed to do the searching.
Code:
#!/bin/bash

IN=inctrl.txt
REG=registry.txt

exec < ${REG}
while read LINE
do 
    egrep -i ${LINE} ${IN}
done

The desired output should be:

Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Security Center\AntiVirusDisableNotify!=dword:0

But I'm not able to get the job done. I think it has to do with escaping the characters before grepping, but I just can't figure out the right combination.

Can someone please help me?

Thanks in advance

wsreg_initialize

wsreg_initialize(3WSREG)			    Product Install Registry Library Functions				  wsreg_initialize(3WSREG)

NAME

       wsreg_initialize - initialize wsreg library

SYNOPSIS

       cc  [flag ...]  file ...-lwsreg [library ...]
       #include <wsreg.h>

       int wsreg_initialize(Wsreg_init_level level, const char *alternate_root);

DESCRIPTION

       The wsreg_initialize() function initializes the wsreg library.

       The level argument can be one of the following:

       WSREG_INIT_NORMAL	       If an old registry file is present, attempt to perform a conversion.

       WSREG_INIT_NO_CONVERSION        If  an  old  conversion file is present, do not perform the conversion, but indicate that the conversion is
				       recommended.

       The alternate_root argument can be used to specify a root prefix.  If NULL is specified, no root prefix is used.

RETURN VALUES

       The wsreg_initialize() function can return one of the following:

       WSREG_SUCCESS		       The initialization was successful and no registry conversion is necessary.

       WSREG_CONVERSION_RECOMMENDED    An old registry file exists and should be converted.

       A conversion is attempted if the init_level argument is WSREG_INIT_NORMAL and a registry file  from  a  previous  version  of  the  product
       install registry exists.  If the wsreg_initialize() function returns WSREG_CONVERSION_RECOMMENDED, the user either does not have permission
       to update the product install registry or does not have read/write access to the previous registry file.

USAGE

       The wsreg_initialize() function must be called before any other wsreg library functions.

       The registry conversion can take some time to complete.	The registry conversion can also be performed using the graphical registry  viewer
       /usr/bin/prodreg or by the registry converter /usr/bin/regconvert.
