Please use codes tags as required by forum rules!

Try this:
Code:
sed -rn '/DIP-10219/ s/^.*[^,](cn=.*com).*$/\1/p' file | while read CMD; do echo ldapdelete -h \$OIDHOST -p \$OIDPORT -D \$OIDUSER -w \$OIDPWD -c -v dn \"$CMD\"; done
ldapdelete -h $OIDHOST -p $OIDPORT -D $OIDUSER -w $OIDPWD -c -v dn "cn=aala, steve (ora-ns),cn=users,dc=oracle,dc=com"
ldapdelete -h $OIDHOST -p $OIDPORT -D $OIDUSER -w $OIDPWD -c -v dn "cn=lui, john (ora),cn=users,dc=oracle,dc=com"

Once you're happy with what you see, you can remove the echo command and the escapes for the $signs. If your sed can't be made accept the extended regexes, you'll have to escape the parentheses in the substitute command.

NAME

       tomoyo-auditd - access request log recording daemon for TOMOYO Linux

SYNOPSIS

       tomoyo-auditd

       tomoyo-auditd [remote_ip:remote_port]

DESCRIPTION

       This program reads access request logs from the kernel and writes to the locations specified in the configuration file. By running this
       program at startup, access request logs for either all domains or selected domains can be stored.

       The format of the stored logs is similar to domain policy, so they can be used to help develop policy.

       Configure this daemon in /etc/tomoyo/tools/auditd.conf. If an access request matches a rule, it will be written to the specified log file.
       This can be used to split access request logs into multiple files. Only the first matching rule is used, so any single access request log
       will be written to a maximum of one output file. If an access request log does not match any rules, it will be discarded.

       Start this program from an appropriate stage during startup (e.g. /etc/rc.local).

OPTIONS

       remote_ip:remote_port
	   Retrieve access request logs from a remote system via an agent, connecting to the specified IP address and port number.

BUGS

       If you find any bugs, send an email to <tomoyo-users-en@lists.sourceforge.jp>.
