I will stand by my original statement that to get the output you showed us before, the only way to get that output was for line #2 in your input file to be a blank line. That is why it is crucial that you show us the actual output produced by your code instead of an abridged form that hides whatever problem you may actually be encountering.
With the code you showed us in post #1 in this thread:
and with the code you showed us in post #8:
and with a simpler, equivalent ERE:
I do not get any output from any of these three if statements from a file where line 2 in that file is the text you showed us in post #6.
My best guess would be that there is a non-printing character or some other character followed by a <backspace> character that hides the fact that there are other characters present in that field that do not match the ERE in your test. To verify this, show us the output from the command:
where aj.txt is a file containing the output from running the script you showed us in post #8 containing the diagnostic message I showed you in post #7.

dp
DP(8) [nmh-1.5] DP(8)NAME
dp - parse dates 822-style
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/mh/dp [-form formatfile] [-format string] [-width columns] [-version] [-help] dates ...
DESCRIPTION
Dp is a program that parses dates according to the ARPA Internet standard. It also understands many non-standard formats, such as those
produced by TOPS-20 sites and some UNIX sites using ctime(3). It is useful for seeing how nmh will interpret a date.
The dp program treats each argument as a single date, and prints the date out in the official 822-format. Hence, it is usually best to
enclose each argument in quotes for the shell.
To override the output format used by dp, the -format string or -format file switches are used. This permits individual fields of the
address to be extracted with ease. The string is simply a format string and the file is simply a format file. See mh-format(5) for the
details.
Here is the default format string used by dp:
%<(nodate{text})error: %{text}%|%(putstr(pretty{text}))%>
which says that if an error was detected, print the error, a `:', and the date in error. Otherwise, output the 822-proper format of the
date.
FILES
$HOME/.mh_profile The user profile
PROFILE COMPONENTS
None
SEE ALSO ap(8), Standard for the Format of ARPA Internet Text Messages (RFC-822)
DEFAULTS
`-format' default as described above
`-width' default to the width of the terminal
CONTEXT
None
BUGS
The argument to the -format switch must be interpreted as a single token by the shell that invokes dp. Therefore, one must usually place
the argument to this switch inside quotes.
