Thanks for ur reply Currently Im using 5.8.9 older version. I'm in initial stage of accessing file. Assume there are 10 files with number-format file names in a directory(Like 1110.9089, 1150.0956 & etc). I need to open each file & check the contents of file. (i) If a string para201(assume) is present in the content of one of the file( Above string is a common keyword in each file, only value differs 202,203) , then using Grep i want to extract the value of a variable EXIT(as it will be 0 or other). (ii) If a string para201 is not present in all the 10 files, then i can give die to exit. After getting value of EXIT, i will update that in EXCEL or ACCESS. This is the concept. This i need to do it in Unix authenticated server. For execution purpose, I'm trying in windows. I'll analyze ur code, Thanks a lot for helping me.
