grep check line exists in file
grep -F -q -e 'search string' textfile.txt || echo 'Not found'
Note:
-F prevents the interpretation of the search string as a regular expression.
-q suppresses all output and returns immediately after the first instance was found, making the search much faster if the string occurs at the beginning of a large file.
-e specifies the pattern explicitly, allowing patterns that start with a dash.
Use single quotes unless you want variable substitutions.
