Praveen,
Without the script, or at least the grep part of the script, it is a bit
hard to tell you what is wrong. Could you give us more info?
I can tell you that with a standard grep, such as this:
grep 82.44.203.222.82681071601925321 testfile
the "." (dot) is interpreted as "any character". So, if anything, this
should give you the lines with that number string in it and others with
similar strings, but where the dots could be another number, such as
82a44b203K222.82681071601925321
which is not what you want.
To get the dot to be seen as a character, the period character, you must
put TWO back-slashes before them, as such
grep 82\\.44\\.203\\.222\\.82681071601925321 testfile
See also "fgrep" for a better solution.
So send us the script and we will try to shed a better light on the
problem.

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
