To get the name of the directory you can do something like:
file=$(find . -name <filename>)
dir=${file%/*}

Simple example using bartus11's awk:


printf "enter value: "
read answer
nawk -v target="$answer" '{ for( i=1; i<=NF; i++ ) if( $i == target ) print; }' file

echo "enter val "
read answer
awk -vx=$answer '{for (i=1;i<=NF;i++) if ($i==x) print}' file
