Hi all,

thanks so much for the help
I have found out the reason to why the grep do not work
cause i have been saving the file to a shared folder on a virtual ubuntu guest on window 64bit machine
and at the end of line there is an appened "^M" which was not visualised and i have it replaced and things worked!

Thanks again

Y
