You marked this thread as [SOLVED] using the title colour change.

Here is a idea that is totally untested so be aware of that.

Do NOT discard your current incarnation until this is proven...
Code:
# Shebang line here...
# Loop something like this...
# <Some unknown setup code here>
# IMPORTANT:- UNABLE TO TEST.
#
cp dellog.txt dellog02.txt
# req1=`grep SUCCESS dellog02.txt`
req1=$(grep SUCCESS dellog02.txt)
#
while true
do
	# This section is added to exit the loop cleanly and manually...
	char=""
	# This line will sleep for 10 seconds UNLESS a key is pressed...
	read -n1 -s -t10 char
	# Q or q will exit/quit/breakout depending upon your requirement...
	if [ "$char" == "Q" ] || [ "$char" == "q" ]
	then
		break
		# exit # <some_return_code>
	fi
	# End of loop exit code...
	# if [ `echo $req1 | grep -c "SUCCESS" ` -gt 0 ]
	if [ $(echo $req1 | grep -c "SUCCESS") -gt 0 ]
	then
		# req1=`grep SUCCESS dellog02.txt`
		req1=$(grep SUCCESS dellog02.txt)
		echo "$req1"
		# sleep 10
	else
		echo "Copying file(s)..."
		cp dellog.txt dellog02.txt
		# sleep 50
		sleep 40
	fi
done
#
echo "You have exited the continuous loop..."
