Question around For Loop
Hi,

I have a variable called result that get the the below value i.e two lines assigned.
Code:
./logs/mymac/myserver.log:####<Jun 7, 2015 12:56:54 PM EDT> <myserver.my.bank.com> <mymac> <[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '5' for queue:\
 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'> <<WLS Kernel>> <1434640> <BEA-0900> <User user1 in security realm myrealm has had 5 invalid login attempts, locking account for 30 minutes.>
./logs/mymac/myserver.log:####<Jun 7, 2015 12:56:54 PM EDT> <myserver.my.bank.com> <mymac> <[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '5' for queue:\
 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'> <<WLS Kernel>> <1434640> <BEA-0900> <User user7 in security realm myrealm has had 5 invalid login attempts, locking account for 30 minutes.>

Below is my code
Code:
result=$(find ./logs -type f -name "*.log" | xargs grep  "BEA-0900")
       for x in $result;
        do
        grep $x fail.log
        if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
        echo "Value of x is:$x"

I am expecting the Value of x to be printed as
Code:
./logs/mymac/myserver.log:####<Jun 7, 2015 12:56:54 PM EDT> <myserver.my.bank.com> <mymac> <[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '5' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'> <<WLS Kernel>> <1434640> <BEA-0900> <User user7 in security realm myrealm has had 5 invalid login attempts, locking account for 30 minutes.>

But, the value of x that it is currently populating is ./logs/mymac/myserver.log:####<Jun and likewise it gets all values seperate by space when I wanted the value of x seperate by line.

Can you suggest what should be done ?
