I just retested it and it continues to work for me. You could not have made the change that you said since the string $target does not appear anywhere in my post. Put it back the way I wrote it. And specify FULL as the argument when you run the script.

I don't understand - when I tried your script it wouldn't work either. It waits for input and when I type a word in and hit enter, it just keeps waiting for more input..

What command in your script tells the script what file to search in?

You're supposed to redirect it in:

./script FULL < someinputfile

or maybe pipe it in:

someotheutility | ./script FULL
