Answer / satchi
Grep is a filter used for pattern matching in shell script.
It searches for the patern if file name is give, or else it
will look for the input data using pipe(|)
Syntax:
1. Grep <patern to search> <Filename>
2. cat <filename> | grep <Patern to search.>
we can use -i option to ignore case sensitiveness.There are
so many options available.you have to explore that.

A file has multiple records each having three 30-bit long fields(field1,field2,field3).There is also a lookup file,LOOK_UP.dat.Now, we need to consider only the last ten digits of field1 and lookup the file LOOK_UP.dat. If there a match then field2 and field3 should replaced with corresponding data from the lookup file. otherwise that particular record,for which there is no match, should be stored in a seperate file.
