I am totally confused with what you want! I don't even understand how the code I gave you is cerating the output you pasted.

Lets do it again. Provide the input file (proper file), the user input and expected output. Provide 2 example, 1 correct and 1 incorrect scenarios.

File A
Code:
Cippu Kaliyil
Madhuri Kajare
Hitesh Sabharwal
Andy Phillipson
Jeffery Baxter
Monica Marshall
Anudeep Bhavannavar
David Hanson
Antoniette Engelker
wmb dev
wmb preprod

Patricia Long
Kenneth Moyer
Jitendra Madduri
Mickey Sumpter
Terrie Boyles
Patrick Garrity
Vicki Boyd
Michael Zingarelli

File A consist of all user name in the above format.Now I want a code or script while user enter the data e.g
this way
Code:
D1234,S1234 | I am Indian

Now if you check the left part of user input it consist of three words (I am Indian) which doesn't exist in File A so script should exit or if the name exist in user input then script should return success.

Code:
D1234,S1234 | I am Patricia Long

I above user input you can see that it consist of user name Patricia Long
which exist in File A so it is valid.

Thanks

Try this...
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
echo -e "Enter User Data : \c"
read val
val=$(echo "${val#*\|}" | sed 's/ /|/g;s/^|//g')
egrep -w "($val)" input_file && echo "Success"

Code:
root@bt:/tmp# ./run
Enter User Data : D1234,S1234 | I am Patricia Long
Patricia Long
Success

Code:
root@bt:/tmp# ./run
Enter User Data : D1234,S1234 | I am Indian
