Actually when I taken the active users I passes the O/P with comma

Code:

34frb,
se3r4,
34d2w,

that was the cause for the error. I corrected it. Thanks

Hi Don,

I have text file like

Code:

Login name: jro02                       In real life: ???
Login name: gco45                       In real life: ???
Login name: gma05                       In real life: ???

if you see above the file contains both recent active user (2014 logged on date) and last year logon date user

so I want to only take their last logon details

so I have written below command

Code:

if [grep 'Login name:' report.txt};
then 
count from Login name line till +2 (Lastlogin or Onsince) > newfile.txt
else
dont pass to newfile.txt

Here I want to know how I can increment line from Login name: then goto next two line.
