Really? Well, since you don't say what it is supposed to do, or what it
doesn't do, how can we help you?

Start by saying what is required, and how your script fails in meeting this
requirement.
One immediately sees this in your (apparent) regex argument:
\.*\.*\.*
As constructed, it means zero or more periods, an argument repeated three
times. It's redundant. But is it a regex argument? If it is, use "egrep".
Conclusion: State the problem to be solved, not your solution.
