I am attempting to create a shell script with the following capaciblities:

1. Listed options to choice from
2. Use to perform awk statements
3. Print a report with the awk results

My questions are

1. How do I select more than one file for option #5 and #6
2. How to I create an output file for each option of 5 and 6
3. Is it better to use case statements, if so why
4. I am receiving the following arrow message on line #21.
'/menu_script.sh: line 21: syntax error near unexpected token `in
'/menu_script.sh: line 21: ` case "$yourch" in

Below is the script:

# Script to create menus and take action according to that selected menu item.
