Hi Aia,
Thank you for helping Kalia, I think you missed a pair of double-quote characters. With:
Code:
pattern="good script"
... ...
	if [ grep -q $pattern "$filename" ]; then

the expansion of $pattern needs to be quoted as well (i.e., "$pattern"). Without the quotes, grep will be looking for the string good in two files (one file named script and the other file named by the expansion of $filename) instead of looking for the string good script in a single file.
