in reply to String searching in file

I don't see your results in the post; nor what was expected and why it's different.

I see an opening backtick on the @command=line, but no closing backtick. Is that normal?

    sorry about that:
    @command=`aws ec2 describe-instances --filters "Name=instance-state-na +me,Values=running" | grep PrivateDnsName | cut -d ":" -f2| cut -d '" +' -f2 | sort -u `;

    Sample Results in @command:

    ip-10-1-129-212.us-west-2.compute.internal ip-10-1-129-168.us-west-2.compute.internal ip-10-1-129-212.us-west-2.compute.internal ip-10-1-129-158.us-west-2.compute.internal ip-10-1-129-78.us-west-2.compute.internal ip-10-1-1-145.us-west-2.compute.internal ip-10-1-65-215.us-west-2.compute.internal ip-10-1-129-194.us-west-2.compute.internal ip-10-1-1-252.us-west-2.compute.internal ip-10-1-67-133.us-west-2.compute.internal
    My issue is that it keeps on printing "not found" even when the ip address is in the file
