As others have pointed out, you may wish to escape the "." in your grep.
However, as it stands it should still find the string so you may have
another problem.
When you create the file, are you using "... > output.file" or "... >>
output.file" ? The first will over-write the file, the second will
concatenate to it, (depending on exactly how the script is coded). Just a
guess, of course.
