What have you already tried? Are you restricted to using a shell script?

Iam new to scripting. I tried in many but i didn't find the solution.
My Algorithm is
1.Run the script giving Arguments DP122223
2.read argument as variable
3.from the position of DP122223 in the log using awk compare the argument if it is true

4.read line. Increment.. so on until awk! =given argument
5.Break

Ok...so why don't you post the 'many' that you tried?? Read the "Question Guidelines" link in my posting signature. We are happy to help you, but we are NOT going to write scripts for you.

Sounds logical; many bash scripting examples on how to do each part of this. You should have no trouble putting a trial script together. Post it here if you get stuck

If you know what your objective is, why don't you try to do that with a script. If it doesn't work right away, then ask for help.
