You could try:


grep myfile_goodfile_sec_20140324_c.doc all_info.txt | head -1


Or


grep myfile_goodfile_sec_20140324_c.doc all_info.txt | grep -v docx
grep myfile_goodfile_sec_20140324_c.doc all_info.txt | grep -v "docx$"

This grep is running in loop for each file present in .txt File

so basically i need .doc in one run then in second i need .docx also

So i mean if i provide myfile_goodfile_sec_20140324_c.doc it should grep only myfile_goodfile_sec_20140324_c.doc and not myfile_goodfile_sec_20140324_c.docx
