Grep issue in for loop
Hi friends,

I am trying to use a grep command in for loop but i keep getting an error message on the grep,

here is the code

HTML Code:
 
grep -i "Target connection group" $LogName | awk '{print $10}' > TableNames.rpt
                cat TableNames.rpt | sort -u > DistinctTable.rpt
                for ee in `cat DistinctTable.rpt`
                do
                        Connections=`grep -i &ee TableNames.rpt | wc -l`

Thanks very much,
