Execute a shell script using regular expressions
I am have a configuration script that my shell script uses. There is a regular expression defined for the input file. How do execute the shell script and pass the name of the input file using a regular expression.
I would greatly appreciate some help. If you could point my to a website that had the syntax where I could learn that would be great too.

record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.
