Bug Thank you !!!
First of all, thank you all for your answers.Smilie

My OS is ubuntu 11.10.

I have a friend that is trying the same thing. In his computer the same command line works fine.

My control file does not have the ^ and $. Maybe I should add those to each line. My control looks like this (but much longer):

NGO2105
NGO1081
NGO2156
NGO2158


And I'm trying to look for those identification numbers in files that look like this (but longer):

B0C5G9_ACAM1 B0C5G9 158335687 AMAR329726:AM1_2537-MONOMER null null null 5681349 CP000828_GR null HBG284974 IPR009915 amr:AM1_2537 null HPLMLGF null null null null null PF07298 null CLSK872158 null null YP_001516859.1 null null null null CP000828:ABW27545.1 AM1_2537


So, sometimes I find things like NGO1081.1 and that is an incorrect value for me.

I have other type of files in which I'm searching for the identification numbers, but I think if it works with one it works with others.

Anyway, I found the problem doing some 'hello world'-like tests. Where my control file was like:

NGO2105
NGO1081


And the file I was searching in was like:

dghsahgjgdsNGO2105
NGO2105ghdshf
NGO2105
asghdfNGO2105dsfjh
(NGO2105)
NGO1081
NGO21

Then the output file was like:

dghsahgjgdsNGO2105
NGO2105ghdshf
NGO2105
asghdfNGO2105dsfjh
(NGO2105)


I was doing other tests right know, following several of your advises. And turned out that grep is doing it fine. I took some precautions like deleting hidden files (that were making some noise). The last command line that I used and work fine was:

Code:
fgrep -wf Id -h searchFiles/* >> outputFile

I don't know if the -f was necessary but it works fine with it.

Thank you for all your replies.Smilie

       words on ATOK12 as well as on cs00.

       cs00toatok reads file(s) specified by filename(s). If no  filenames are given, cs00toatok reads a file from the standard  input.  The  con-
       tents of the files must be the format of cs00 word-list-file. cs00toatok writes ATOK word-list-file to the standard output. cs00toatok con-

       parts of speech is converted to plural words, each of which has the each part of speech.

OPTIONS

       -a	Put  out words whose part of speech are "no classification" or "clause" as words whose parts of speech are unknown, in addition to
		words put out by default.

NOTES

       cs00toatok does not change Kana reading and Kanji word of any word. Therefore, note below.

	 o  A word may not be registered to ATOK user dictionary with the characters or the length of kana reading and kanji word of the word.

	 o  If the edge of a word is `'' (Zenkaku single quote) or `"' (Zenkaku double quote), a new word stripped the edge of characters from the
	    word is registered.

	 o  If Kanji word of a word contains `,' (Zenkaku comma), the word cannot be registered to ATOK user dictionary.

       Use ATOK12 dictionary utility to register a word-list-file to ATOK dictionary. For detail, refer to ATOK12 User's Guide.
