I am trying to print all the lines from a file that has the same characters of the matching pattern.
Here is my pattern -
CurrentPrincipal[MRC]
CurrentPrincipalLegalEventAssociation
In the file I have the lines like the below ones
823,agg.listgroup,CurrentPrincipal[MRC],CompanyElementDefinition
d4f170,atom.list,CurrentPrincipal[MRC][Type][*],CompanyElementDefinition
1097,agg.listgroup,CurrentPrincipalLegalEventAssociation,CompanyElementDefinition
c755ad,atom.list,CurrentPrincipal[LegalEventAssociation][Type][*],CompanyElementDefinition
8798c3,atom.list,CurrentPrincipal[MailingAddressStreetLine1][*],CompanyElementDefinition
I am iterating my pattern and printing its matching lines from the file. What I need is, when I iterate my pattern CurrentPrincipal[MRC] I should get only its matching line
d4f170,atom.list,CurrentPrincipal[MRC][Type][*],CompanyElementDefinition
and when the pattern is CurrentPrincipalLegalEventAssociation I should get only
c755ad,atom.list,CurrentPrincipal[LegalEventAssociation][Type][*],CompanyElementDefinition
My requirement is to ignore the [ ] from the line while matching pattern.
I have tried my best to put my issue affront. Do let me know if anything else is needed from me.
Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you need. Please edit your question and show us an example of your input file, including both desired and undesired lines, and then show us the output you would expect from that example.

You appear to want the [ and ] characters to be treated literally rather than as indicating a character range. You can do that by escaping them:
grep 'CurrentPrincipal[LegalEventAssociation]' file
Ex. given:
$ cat file
823,agg.listgroup,CurrentPrincipal[MRC],CompanyElementDefinition
d4f170,atom.list,CurrentPrincipal[MRC][Type][*],CompanyElementDefinition
1097,agg.listgroup,CurrentPrincipalLegalEventAssociation,CompanyElementDefinition
c755ad,atom.list,CurrentPrincipal[LegalEventAssociation][Type][*],CompanyElementDefinition
8798c3,atom.list,CurrentPrincipal[MailingAddressStreetLine1][*],CompanyElementDefinition
then
$ grep 'CurrentPrincipal[LegalEventAssociation]' file
c755ad,atom.list,CurrentPrincipal[LegalEventAssociation][Type][*],CompanyElementDefinition
Alternatively use the -F or --fixed-strings option to tell grep to treat all characters literally:
$ grep -F 'CurrentPrincipal[LegalEventAssociation]' file
c755ad,atom.list,CurrentPrincipal[LegalEventAssociation][Type][*],CompanyElementDefinition

This is fine but my search pattern isCurrentPrincipalLegalEventAssociationand I cannot modify it to include the escape sequence. All I want is like grep or awk command that will print the linec755ad,atom.list,CurrentPrincipal[LegalEventAssociation][Typ‌​e][*],CompanyElement‌when the search pattern isCurrentPrincipalLegalEventAssociation. While searching the file with this pattern I should tell the command to ignore the brackets of that line.

@AlexRajKaliamoorthy please see my updated answer usinggrep -F. Also, it shouldn't be necessary to iterate over a file containing search patterns - there is ` -f` option (lower casef) to read patterns directly from a file.

@AlexRajKaliamoorthy, Do you have a policy against modifying them or is it a principal thing? Because it's not impossible to do so the only thing stopping you from doing it is yourself -- or possibly some weird company policy? You shouldn't approach automation with a "can't do" attitude.

Also if you are receiving bad input from some upstream application, really the correct thing to do would be to fix that application rather than massage it's output, but I digress.

grep seems to do what you want.
grep 'word' filename
Will print every line in the file 'filename' that contains 'word'.

Using the following, the file output appears in next line in the file after pattern search line.
sed -n '/CurrentPrincipal[MRC]/p' filename | sed -n '2p'
Output
d4f170,atom.list,CurrentPrincipal[MRC][Type][*],CompanyElementDefinition
sed -n '/CurrentPrincipalLegalEventAssociation/,+1p' l.txt | sed -n '2p'
Output
c755ad,atom.list,CurrentPrincipal[LegalEventAssociation][Type][*],CompanyElementDefinition

I have tried this already but if you see, my file has1097,agg.listgroup,CurrentPrincipalLegalEventAssociation,CompanyElementDefinition c755ad,atom.list,CurrentPrincipal[LegalEventAssociation][Type][*],CompanyElementDefinitionand I need onlyc755ad,atom.list,CurrentPrincipal[LegalEventAssociation][Type][*],CompanyElementDefinition. The line I need contains brackets and I want to ignore that while searching.

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you need. Please edit your question and show us an example of your input file, including both desired and undesired lines, and then show us the output you would expect from that example.
