You could have given a better explanation about your requirement !

If i got your requirement properly, then use the following.

Code:
grep '"' temp_search.txt
if [ $? -eq 0 ];then
mv temp_search.txt initial.txt
fi

Do you mean replace the pattern with the file contents? Add the contents after the line with the pattern? Replace the line with file contents? It isn't clear what you mean.

Hi,

Code:
#!/bin/sh

while read initial_line
do
        ret=`echo $initial_line | grep '<selectValue'`
        if [ -z "$ret" ]
        then
        echo $initial_line
        else
                p=`echo $initial_line | awk -F'>' '{print ($1)}'`
                echo -n $p
                cat temp_search.txt
        fi
done < initial.txt
