I have been trying to replicate this with a case statement because I am not sure which way he wants this. He has an example of creating a menu in our powerpoint slides, so he might want us to do it that way, but I cannot figure out how to add the commands properly. Would it be something like:

Code:
# Use of a case statement to offer a 5 item menu
echo “  Menu\n1. Add an entry \n2. Display all matches to a string\n3. Sort and display the file\n4. Delete all entries that match a string\n5. Quit to Unix\nEnter your option #: \c”
read choice
case “$choice” in
	1) add;;
	2) list;;
	3) find;;
	4) delete;;
	5) exit ;;
	*)	echo “Invalid option”   # ;; not needed for last option
esac

I am not sure how to add the commands properly like I did with the original solution, where I included the sub scripts like ./add.sh. Any ideas?
