What did you change it to?

Should I not be using a case statement to perform the move?
A case statement cannot move anything. You use mv to do the move.

I am using it to ask the user if the list is correct.
How are you using it? We're not mind readers.
Quote:
I thought that inside the case statement I should put what shoudl be carried out if the user says no.
...and what should be carried out when the use says yes.
Quote:
Sounds like maybe I shouldn't be using case
Yes, you should use case.

or put that somewhere else in the script?
Isn't that what I suggested?

NAME
script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
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.
ATTRIBUTES

WARNINGS
script can pose a security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
