Error
I am using command substitution into a find command in a script where I have built a menu to do a bunch of tasks within my unix account. When I choose the options for to find a file/files that have the same inode of the entered filename, ie hardlinks, nothing shows up. When I choose the appropiate options to build my find command everything looks to be in order. I need to know how do I get the hard links to print out. Below is the segment of the menu that I use to build the find command for the find path -inum filename -print:

echo "\n Select the number of the search primary"

echo "\n 1) Search based on inodes (-inodes via filename)"

echo "\n Choice: \c"
read pchoice

case $pchoice in
1) srch_pri='-inum';;
esac

case $pchoice in
1) echo "Filename: \c";
read srch_arg;;
esac

echo "Select number of the action primary"

echo "\n 1) Display the current pathname (-print)"

echo "\n Choice: \c"
read achoice

case $achoice in
1) act_pri = '-print';;
esac

case $achoice in
1) act_arg='';;
esac

path =$HOME

find $path $srch_pri $srch_arg $act_pri $act_arg

NAME

       sagasu - GNOME tool to find strings in multiple files

SYNOPSIS

       sagasu [string [dir]]

DESCRIPTION

       sagasu  is  a  GNOME  tool to find strings in a set of files.  The user specifies the search directory and the set of files to be searched.
       Double-clicking on a search result launches a user command that can for example load the file in an editor at the  appropriate  line.   The
       search can recurse into subdirectories and can optionally ignore CVS directories.

       Two  optional  command-line arguments can be given: the first is the initial search string and the second is the directory whose files will
       be searched.  If only one argument is given, it is taken as the search string.  No search is actually started, but the  appropriate  fields
       are initialized.  Any subsequent arguments are ignored.

       More documentation is available through the application's Help menu.

BUGS

       The files to be searches are still assumed to be in Latin-1, not in UTF-8.  The same goes for the command-line arguments and  the  terminal
       to which Sagasu is connected, if applicable.

HISTORY

       Sagasu is a Japanese word that means "to search."
