in thread String searching in file

Sorry but looking at your code more closely, I dont see how it will work, sorry if I didnt put all the details. $awsLists isn't populated, so my goal is to populate the file, then check if ip is there, and not do anything, but if it is there write to the file 
@command=`aws ec2 describe-instances --filters "Name=instance-state-na
+me,Values=running" | grep  PrivateDnsName | cut -d ":" -f2| cut -d '"
+' -f2 | sort -u `;
