We are lost here.
You have uploaded four sample files: file1.log.02896.txt, file2.log.02897.txt, filew.log.02820.txt, and filez.log.02899.txt
None of these files are referenced in any of your posts in this thread.

You have referenced files with names (or names that match pathname matching patterns) *.log, progflag.cvs, progflag.cvs.txt, and several others; but you have not shown us samples of the contents of any of these files.

You have shown us some code and you have sort of said what some of that code is trying to do, but the syntax is so different from the syntax expected by awk and bash and your explanations are not in complete sentences, so I am unable to figure out the format of your input files and I am unable to figure out the logic you are trying to use to produce the output you want.

EXIGREP(8)                                                    System Manager's Manual                                                   EXIGREP(8)

NAME

       EXIGREP - Search Exim's main log

SYNOPSIS

       exigrep [-l] pattern [log file] ...

DESCRIPTION

       The  exigrep  utility  is  a  Perl script that searches one or more main log files for entries that match a given pattern.  When it finds a
       match, it extracts all the log entries for the relevant message, not just those that match the pattern.  Thus, exigrep can extract complete
       log entries for a given message, or all mail for a given user, or for a given host, for example.

       The -l flag means 'literal', that is, treat all characters in the pattern as standing for themselves.  Otherwise the pattern must be a Perl
       regular expression.  The pattern match is case-insensitive.  If no file names are given on the command line, the standard input is read.

       If the location of a zcat command is known from the definition of ZCAT_COMMAND in Local/Makefile, exigrep  automatically  passes  any  file
       whose name ends in COMPRESS_SUFFIX through zcat as it searches it.

BUGS

       This manual page needs a major re-work. If somebody knows better groff than us and has more experience in writing manual pages, any patches
       would be greatly appreciated.
