SUMMARY: SED or AKW statement

The original question:

I was looking for some help in creating a SED or AWK statement to pull one
line of information into a script and use it in a grep statement.

example:

Within a shell script

"pull one line of information into a script and use in a grep statement."

Filename with Variable : variable.txt
     The first line of the file variable.txt contains
hello

#!bin/sh

Grep "Variable"  /opt/Anydatafile.txt
               hello

I would appreciate any help.


The solution:
Tom Payerle reminded me that the grep -f option is sufficient for this.

Some additional suggestions:

#!/bin/ksh
head -1 $(grep -l $VARIABLE *)


Grep "Variable"  /opt/Anydatafile.txt
               hello

grep "`head -1 variable.txt`" /opt/Anydatafile.txt


#!/bin/sh
VAR1=`head -9 file.txt | tail -1`
grep $VAR1 file2.txt
