Hi ,

Its a typo mistake.Please let me know if any alternate command is available.

Error message is : Syntax error.

Please post the full script (in code tags) and the full and complete error message.
It is unlikely the the message "Syntax error" came from egrep.
On both machines please check which shell you are using:
echo "${SHELL}"

Hi ,

output of echo "${SHELL}" is /usr/bin/ksh

Following is the error message i am getting:

egrep: syntax error
bash: 0: command not found

check FEW things
1. alias <-- May be echo has alias
2. set <--- check if any function in env or check PATH

try which echo to find where the echo command is and run
/bin/echo $SHELL and see result

also can try \echo etc ..

Hi.

That's the error one would expect if you tried to execute the result of the grep.

For example, if you had a space after count=
Code:

count= `echo "Sriram-201002.DAT" | egrep -f Mask_File.lst | wc -l`
bash: 0: command not found

Are you showing us the exact command you are running?

Mystery how shell is "ksh" but error message came from "bash". Are the two accounts set up the same?
Please post the full script (in code tags).
