draghun9,
Clearly state what your new requirement is since it's not clear to me.
e.g. when should RCODE = 5 or something else and what do you intend to do with it?

@mjf,
When the file not authenticated it should return a value eg: rcode =5; and then i will use this value as a condition in another if statement like if (rcode=5)....

If you mean if there is at least 1 record that falls into "not authenticated" category (i.e. "file1.txt contains content which is not in defaultfile.txt") and then you wish to set rcode =5, then try this:

Code:
comm -23 file1.txt defaultfile.txt | if [[ `wc -l` -gt 0 ]]; then rcode=5; fi
