What's the point of trying to grep "successfully" when it isn't even present in your file ?

Do you want to grep the word "successfully" ?
Or the word "abc" ?

Thanks for your reply.

I want to grep for the word abc.

Then guess what word you'll want to use with grep.

Hi Durden , I got confused. let me write it clearly here.

I have a outfile generated like this.
DB20000I The SQL command completed successfully.
DB20000I The SQL command completed successfully.
abc
DB20000I The SQL command completed successfully.
DB20000I The SQL command completed successfully.
def
DB20000I The SQL command completed successfully.
DB20000I The SQL command completed successfully.
ghi
DB20000I The SQL command completed successfully.
DB20000I The SQL command completed successfully.
jkl

Now i need the output as
abc
def
ghi
jkl

sorry for the confusion.

THanks,

Hi Sailaja,

Below command can be used to remove lines with "successfully" from your output.

grep -v "successfully" file
