please see other post:

But in reply to your questions: .hits files are numerous files populated with hundres of rows in the format:

Code:

137.44.2.8 	Mon 		Feb 4 		22:02:35 GMT 2008
149.192.2.81 	Mon 		Feb 4 		23:22:12 GMT 2008
132.53.17.171 	Tue 		Feb 5 		01:56:16 GMT 2008

I have scripts that search sepearetly for the date month and year to output the results into a tempfile. Thus limiting the results from all the hits files.
I am using a grep command to do so.

Secondly I use the case command to validate all of these inputs the user makes.

The reason i have not grouped it all together, is because i dont know how. Unlike most "students" on here i tend to only use what i understand or know. compared to people who just post hwk on here, and if i need help with a command then i come to here. Although this has nothing to do with coursework, and is just a mess about task for me to help me with my placement for next year where i will be having unix and perl experience.

I am a complete beginner to this. The reason there are pauses is because its just so i can see if everything runs ok and it gives me time to look at it.

If you refer to the link above you will see the problem. I want my "option 2" in my menu to ignore the stuff i already have in place, and run something else in the same script.

Sorry to be such a lamen about this whole thing but its the first time ive extensively used UNIX.

menu_opts_off

menu_opts(3X)															     menu_opts(3X)

NAME

       menu_opts - set and get menu options

SYNOPSIS

       #include <menu.h>
       int set_menu_opts(MENU *menu, Menu_Options opts);
       int menu_opts_on(MENU *menu, Menu_Options opts);
       int menu_opts_off(MENU *menu, Menu_Options opts);
       Menu_Options menu_opts(const MENU *menu);

DESCRIPTION

       The function set_menu_opts sets all the given menu's option bits (menu option bits may be logically-OR'ed together).

       The function menu_opts_on turns on the given option bits, and leaves others alone.

       The function menu_opts_off turns off the given option bits, and leaves others alone.

       The function menu_opts returns the menu's current option bits.

       The following options are defined (all are on by default):

       O_ONEVALUE
	    Only one item can be selected for this menu.

       O_SHOWDESC
	    Display the item descriptions when the menu is posted.

       O_ROWMAJOR
	    Display the menu in row-major order.

       O_IGNORECASE
	    Ignore the case when pattern-matching.

       O_SHOWMATCH
	    Move the cursor to within the item name while pattern-matching.

       O_NONCYCLIC
	    Don't wrap around next-item and previous-item, requests to the other end of the menu.

RETURN VALUE

       Except for menu_opts, each routine returns one of the following:

       E_OK The routine succeeded.

       E_SYSTEM_ERROR
	    System error occurred (see errno).

       E_POSTED
	    The menu is already posted.

SEE ALSO

       curses(3X), menu(3X).

NOTES

       The header file <menu.h> automatically includes the header file <curses.h>.

PORTABILITY

       These routines emulate the System V menu library.  They were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
