Thanks Steven, you supply awesome.

I would like to add something more with my question.

I have any keyword file,
#cp ${grep -f keywordfile -l temp/} destFolder

Its working so good. But what trying to do is if the keywordfile has lets say keyword "demo" got more wc -l more than 2times , then copy it. How to do that ?
