thanks for the reply. I understand that my method is inefficient, but I was wondering why the following wont work. Do I have a syntax error somewhere? When I run the following code, I get the error "syntax error near unexpected token 'done'"

PHP Code:
#!/bin/bash
while read word; do
grep -w "$word" list2.txt
done < list1.txt >> "$word".txt
cat "$word".txt 
When I run the command
PHP Code:
grep -w SAMPLE_TEXT list2.txt 
it gives me the desired output.
