Context is all important ... the read (within the while statement) 
suggest that there are 2 and only 2 values per line (i.e., each 
line/record contains two space separated words ...
    first:  is that true?
    second: v='9899', s2=? (dog, cat, 1234dog, 1234cat, etc)? ... all of 
these will be unequal to 9899 ... is that what you want?
... that all my commends/questions for the moment
