How can I match the particular character in the string?

Hi, I want to check out a word in the text file and generate a clear report for me to see...

The text file content:
Content:
............
20120608: [TXT 120k-130k(130k), manachan]
20120608: [TXT 120k-130k(130k), natsumi]
............
20120608: [Full TxT 120k-130k(130k), manatsu]
..........
2012031201: [TXT 350k-540k(600k)], hime]
End of the file

My expected output is:
Full TXT:
manatsu

TXT:
manachan
natsumi
hime

I got some trouble to get "TXT" and "Full TXT" now and I am not idea to sum up all the TXT info. Is it possible to generate?

Code:

#!/bin/ksh

for i in `sed -e "s/[ <tab>]*//g" record1 | grep -i 'TXT'`
	do
	 txtName=`echo $i | awk 'BEGIN {FS=","} {print $1;}'`
         if [ -n `$txtName | grep -i 'Full TXT' ]
             author=`echo $i | awk 'BEGIN {FS=","} {print $2;}'`
	     echo "Full Text: $author"
         fi
	done
  exit

but it will have an error message (red color)
grep: can't open 20120608: [Full TxT 120k-130k(130k), manatsu]

Thanks!

Test::Inline::Content(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				Test::Inline::Content(3pm)

NAME

       Test::Inline::Content - Test::Inline 2 Content Handlers

DESCRIPTION

       One problem with the initial versions of Test::Inline 2 was the method by which it generated the script contents.

       "Test::Inline::Content" provides a basic API by which more sophisticated extensions can be written to control the content of the generated
       scripts.

METHODS

   new
       A default implementation of the "new" method is provided that takes no parameters and creates a default (empty) object.

       Returns a new "Test::Inline::Content" object.

   process $Inline $Script
       The "process" method does the work of generating the script content. It takes as argument the parent Test::Inline object, and the completed
       Test::Inline::Script object for which the file is to be generated.

       The default implementation returns only an empty script that dies with an appropriate error message.

       Returns the content of the script as a string, or "undef" on error.
