Veerappan,
I use that very method on my projects. I don't find it error prone.
The two "ERROR_101" strings are right next to each other. It's pretty
easy to eyeball.
If, nevertheless, you feel it's a problem, consider running the
following AWK script on your message file.
======= messageCheck.awk =============
BEGIN { FS = "[=:]" }
/.+=.+:.+/ { if ($1 != $2) print "Whoa, better check ", $1 }
======= messageCheck.awk =============
The first line tells awk to use either '=' or ':' as field separators.
The second line says (in English) "If the line has (some stuff)=(other
stuff):(more stuff), then print a message if (some stuff) is different
than (other stuff)."
With the following input file
======= msgid.txt =========
# This is just a comment.
ERROR_101=ERROR_101:this is message 101
ERROR_102=ERROR_102:this is message 102
ERROR_103=ERROR_103:this message has a = and a : inside it.
ERROR_104=ERROR_101:Cut and paste gone bad.
ERROR_105=ERROR_105:This is message 105
INFO_108=This message does not repeat its message id.
======= msgid.txt ==========
Then you get the following result:
$ awk -f messageCheck.awk msgid.txt
Whoa, better check ERROR_104
$
I suppose this would be a problem if you didn't have AWK. :(
