If you're concerned about searching for a literal '.', you must escape the character:
grep '82\.44\.203\.222\.82681071601925321' *
Otherwise, the '.' will mean any character (including '.').
You might want to post that portion of your script so someone can better help you with the redirection. It's either not finding your search string and/or erroring out.
tnx-

Hi *,
I want to search for a string (82.44.203.222.82681071601925321) from
a file. i have around 150 similar number , so i am using a script to do
this...my script does not create file even after redirecting...can some let
me know where am i failing.
i think when i am doing grep it takes .(dot) in the literal meaning.
TIA
Praveen
