How about we do this "the shell way" and get rid of grep and awk
altogether?
I don't know the format of the "labelfile" (where is it documented?),
but on the assumption the tape label is in column 1 and the barcode in
column 2, try the following loop (I tested by searching /etc/services
for "amanda"):
#!/bin/sh
labelfile=/etc/services
tapelabel=amanda
set x `while read tag bar junk
do
if [ $tag = $tapelabel ]
then
echo $tag $bar
break
fi
done < $labelfile`
shift
echo "includedtag is <$1>"
echo "includedbar is <$2>"
exit 0
