thanks for the responses...

lemme make it clear ... the argument(s) which are given is jus the phrase. for example
total rejected rows

or
rejected number of rows

in the log file which im gonna parse it with the script contains:

log.txt
total rejected rows: 1000
total rejected rows:    1254
total rejected rows: 1000
total rejected rows:    1254
total rejected rows: 1000
3000 rejected number of rows
8700 rejected number of rows
65000 rejected number of rows
1200 rejected number of rows
4300 rejected number of rows
total rejected rows:    1254
total rejected rows: 1000
total rejected rows:    1254
total rejected rows: 1000
total rejected rows:    1254
54000 rejected number of rows
4000 rejected number of rows

the programs works only for "total rejected rows:", ie., if the number (desired result) is at the end of the search phrase, but if it is at the beginning for example, "rejected number of rows" the number present at the beginning is not returned... but always the search phrase has the digits either at the beginning or at the end... if u have more questions plz lemme kno...

thanks.
