${string%%substring}
Strips longest match of $substring from back of $string.
${USERID%% *} Removes all the blanks from the end of the string

For example let USERID="5000 10 "
Code:
fgrep $USERID file

This code will expand to
Code:
fgrep 5000 10 file

Here 5000 is the search pattern and 10 and file will be taken as two files. To avoid this problem we can use quotes around the the variable.
Code:
fgrep "${USERID%% *}" file
