OK, no bashisms. What happens if you create a dave.cfg file in your home directory containing
Code:
home/dave/banana        BANANA
home/dave/orange        ORANGE
home/dave/orange1       ORANGE
home/dave/orange2       ORANGE
home/dave/apple         APPLE
home/dave/apple1        APPLE
home/dave/apple2        APPLE

(are you sure, BTW, that those paths are relative and not absolute?) and run

Code:
while read DIR KW REST; do cd $DIR; echo invalid files in $DIR: $(ls > ../TMP; grep -l $KW * | grep -vf- ../TMP) >> ../de.log; cd ..;  done < dave.cfg;

? Are you happy with de.logs contents, at least for the invalid files?

Please take one step at a time. What you presented in post#16 is NOT the directories from post#12. Use full absolute paths for a test, i.e. paths rooted at / and not using variables to be expanded.
Obviously your grep version behaves differently. There might be other versions installed on your node, like /usr/xpg4/bin/grep. Try with this one. If that fails, we need to look further.

Hello daveaztig14,

You requirement is not clear but if you want to read/print the file's content on standard output in a specific directory then following may help you in same.
Code:
for file in home/solaris/unix/samplefiles/*
do
      grep -v "UNIX" $file
done

If your requirements are different from above code then please do let us know your requirement with complete details with sample Inputs and expected outputs.

Thanks,

That is not what grep -v BRE file... does. That grep command gives you a list of every line in each of the given file operands that does NOT contain a string matching the basic regular expression specified by BRE.

If you want to list all files in the directory home/solaris/unix/samplefiles/ which is a relative pathname of a sub-sub-sub-subdirectory of your current working directory, you could use something like:
Code:
cd home/solaris/unix/samplefiles/ && \
for file in *.txt
do	if ! grep -q davehandsome "$file"
	then	printf 'File "%s" does not contain the string "davehandsome"\n' "$file"
	fi
done
