read file compare name

[scripTAR]

Hello all. I am trying to read some names in a file


file has them in the second line. Example:

a1234 b2345 c1234 ....

I have to read them, compare them with a variable in script and decide if the name is in the file. The number of names will change from time to time. Any help will be appreciated.
