Hi,

At the moment, I have inserted an actual filename to conduct searches through it etc... Instead, I want the user to choose a filename and then do the searches against this file, instead of already having specified the file in the code. How would I do this? I tried doing the following, but it says cannot find file or directory, but the file does exist.

echo "enter file"
read file
echo "enter word to add"
read word
echo "$word" >> "$file"
------------------------

Thanks for your help.
