  • The issue with grep is that you can't easily restrict the match to the 2nd field only. The string 202209 would, for example, match all lines that we are given. Commented Sep 28, 2022 at 8:49

    @macieira are you working on Windows or can you have ever opened the BlockspamCLIs.txt in Windows? If so, that's your problem: windows line endings. Fix the file with dos2unix BlockspamCLIs.txt or sed -i 's/\r//' BlockspamCLIs.txt and try again. Commented Sep 28, 2022 at 9:02
