Korn Shell Script - Read File & Search On Values
I am attempting to itterate through a file that has multiple lines and for each one read the entire line and use the value then to search in other files. The problem is that instead of an entire line I am getting each word in the file set as the value I am searching for. For example in File 1 instead of searching for "The UNIX World" my program searches for "The" and then "UNIX" and then "World".
File 1
The UNIX World
Words
Retro data is here somewhere
Quit it right now123
What I wrote was the following:
set -A Value_List `cat $1`
for item in ${Value_List[*]}
do
FOUNDIT=`grep $item $2`
if [ ! -z ${FOUNDIT} ]; then
echo "Not Found $item"
else
echo $item >> item.results
fi
done
Can someone help me get the rest of the way there?

setmaillist
setmaillist(1) General Commands Manual setmaillist(1)
NAME
setmaillist - create a binary mailing list
SYNOPSIS
setmaillist bin tmp
DESCRIPTION
setmaillist reads a mailing list from its standard input.
setmaillist writes the mailing list in a binary format to tmp; it then moves tmp to bin. tmp and bin must be on the same filesystem.
If there is a problem creating tmp, setmaillist complains and leaves bin alone.
The binary mailing list format is portable across machines.
setmaillist always creates bin world-readable.
MAILING LIST FORMAT
The mailing list read by setmaillist is a series of lines. NUL bytes are not allowed.
If a line begins with a dot or slash, setmaillist takes the entire line as an include file name.
If a line begins with an ampersand, setmaillist takes the rest of the line as a recipient address. If a line begins with a letter or num-
ber, setmaillist takes the entire line as a recipient address. Each recipient address must include a fully qualified domain name. Recipi-
ent addresses longer than 800 bytes are not allowed.
setmaillist ignores blank lines and lines beginning with #. It also ignores spaces and tabs at the ends of lines.
For example,
god@heaven.af.mil
djb@silverton.berkeley.edu
is a mailing list with two addresses.
