Change the "if" line to this: Note there the spaces after the "[" and before the "]" are required. Also, to access the value of a variable in shell, prefix the variable with a "$" sign. Use "fi" to close the "if" statement.
Code:
if [ $choice -eq 1 ] then
echo "This is reading the first choice"
fi
You can clean up your code by using a "select case" which will build the menu for you. Here is the syntax (note that the ";;" must end every case.)
Code:
select NUM in 1 2 3 quit
do
case $NUM in
1) echo "This is reading the first choice"
;;
2) echo "This is reading the second choice"
;;
3) echo "This is reading the third choice"
;;
quit) echo "Goodbye"
exit;;
esac
done
Lastly, to fancy it up a bit, use the builtin variable PS3 to set your prompt string for the menu (Add it just before the "select case" statement)
Code:
PS3="Make a Selection From the Following List"
