Thank you so much for your reply. Sorry about the spelling!

To check the last name (input is the first letter) this worked!:
grep '^'"$2" dirInfo

One of my biggest questions is why the grep wont work for a string such as (123)456-7899. I get the syntax error near unexpected token `(' error.

-r
-c
-p

these are my only current problems. Two of them are with the area code/phone number so if I can figure out one than the other should be somewhat simple. I will continue to work on it but if anyone has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate them, thanks.

pspell_new - Load a new dictionary

SYNOPSIS
int pspell_new (string $language, [string $spelling], [string $jargon], [string $encoding], [int $mode]) DESCRIPTION
pspell_new(3) opens up a new dictionary and returns the dictionary link identifier for use in other pspell functions. For more information and examples, check out inline manual pspell website:http://aspell.net/. PARAMETERS
o $language - The language parameter is the language code which consists of the two letter ISO 639 language code and an optional two letter ISO 3166 country code after a dash or underscore. o $spelling - The spelling parameter is the requested spelling for languages with more than one spelling such as English. Known values are 'american', 'british', and 'canadian'. o $jargon - The jargon parameter contains extra information to distinguish two different words lists that have the same language and spell- ing parameters. o $encoding - The encoding parameter is the encoding that words are expected to be in. Valid values are 'utf-8', 'iso8859-*', 'koi8-r', 'viscii', 'cp1252', 'machine unsigned 16', 'machine unsigned 32'. This parameter is largely untested, so be careful when using. o $mode - The mode parameter is the mode in which spellchecker will work. There are several modes available: o PSPELL_FAST - Fast mode (least number of suggestions) o PSPELL_NORMAL - Normal mode (more suggestions) o PSPELL_BAD_SPELLERS - Slow mode (a lot of suggestions) o PSPELL_RUN_TOGETHER - Consider run-together words as legal compounds. That is, "thecat" will be a legal compound, although there should be a space between the two words. Changing this setting only affects the results returned by pspell_check(3); pspell_suggest(3) will still return suggestions. Mode is a bitmask constructed from different constants listed above. However, PSPELL_FAST, PSPELL_NORMAL and PSPELL_BAD_SPELLERS are mutually exclusive, so you should select only one of them. RETURN VALUES
Returns the dictionary link identifier on success or FALSE on failure. EXAMPLES
Example #1 pspell_new(3) <?php $pspell_link = pspell_new("en", "", "", "", (PSPELL_FAST|PSPELL_RUN_TOGETHER)); ?> PHP Documentation Group PSPELL_NEW(3)
