if my user has to enter the name of months to carry out a search how can I limit the input values to only the month names and nothing else?
so far my input criteria for the user is this:
Quote:
echo " "
echo "Enter the month in which you wish to search
(Please enter months in the form of Jan, Feb, Mar, etc...): "
read MONTH
grep $5 "$MONTH" tempfile > tempmonth
|
i would like it so the user can only enter the months in the way i have stated. otherwise they would get an error message.
