i need do not process a files stating with #

I was written code below

Code:
while read -r line
 do
 
          if [ egrep -v '^#'  $file]
          then
         echo ${line} >>
         elif [ $scode -le 399 ]
          then
          echo ${line} >>access.log
          else
         echo ${line}>>error.log
done > $file

it processing but not expectings
and also tried below like
Code:
           while read -r line
 do
 
          if [ egrep -v '^#'  $file]
          then
         echo ${line} >>
         elif [ $scode -le 399 ]
          then
          echo ${line} >>access.log
          else
         echo ${line}>>error.log
done > `egrep -v '^#'  $file`

Hi egrep works on an entire file, that is not what you are looking for. You could try this:
Code:
while read -r line
do
  case $line in 
    (\#*) continue
  esac
  printf "%s\n" "$line"
  .....
done < yourfile

Where do you set scode ?
