I need help really quick, this is due in an hour. Here is my new code, I just need to figure out how to get the user input to do the correct command, which is why I left the "if choice" blank...or should it be "if $choice" ?
read -p "How would you like the file to be sorted?
1) Alphabetically by name
2) By Land Area
3) By Population
Enter number choice here: " choice
read choice
if choice
then
awk '{ print $2, $3, $4 }' fifty_states.txt > states_alpha.txt
sort states_alpha.txt
fi
if choice
then
awk '{ print $2, $3, $4 }' fifty_states.txt > states_land.txt
sort -k +1 states_land.txt
fi
if choice
then
awk '{ print $2, $4, $3 }' fifty_states.txt > states_pop.txt
sort -k +1 states_pop.txt
fi

NAME
mkcover - HylaFAX continuation cover page generation command
SYNOPSIS
/var/spool/fax/bin/mkcover qfile template result
DESCRIPTION
bin/mkcover is the command invoked by the facsimile server when a continuation cover page is required for an outbound job that is about to
be retried. It generates a single POSTSCRIPT(R) page that is imaged according to the remote capabilities and transmitted as the cover
page. The arguments are:
qfile the job description file for the outbound job.
template the cover page template file, as used by the faxcover(1) program.
result the filename where the resultant POSTSCRIPT document should be written.
The default mkcover command is a shell script that uses awk(1) to parse the job description file and generate the cover page document. The
template file may be optionally compressed with compress(1), pack(1), or gzip(1); the filename suffix is used to decide whether or not the
template file contains compressed data.
