User information script
Hi Guys,
I just started learning unix and was wondering if anyone can assist me with my User info script.The script file lets the user input their personal information (Their name, address, phone number etc...). The script will then ask the user to input the info again if the input is incorrect or not given. This is what I entered so far :
Finished=f
while [ "$Finished" = f ]
do
tput cup 6 9; echo -n "Enter your phone number: "; read phone
while [ "$phone" = "<not sure how to set this up>" ]; do
echo "Please enter your phone number: "; read phone
done
My question is how do I setup my while loop so that if the user enters his phone number in the wrong format it will prompt him to enter the phone number correctly ?
Thanks very much for the assistance

installsieve
INSTALLSIEVE(1) General Commands Manual INSTALLSIEVE(1)

NAME
installsieve - user utility for managing sieve scripts
SYNOPSIS
installsieve
DESCRIPTION
installsieve is a utility that allows users to manage their sieve scripts kept on the server.
OPTIONS
-v <name> View script with the given name. The script if retrieved sucessfully is output to standard output.
-l List all of the scripts currently on the server. If one of the scripts is active a arrow is printed indicating that it is the active
script.
-p <port> Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to "sieve" as defined in /etc/services.
-i <file> Install a file onto the server. If a script with the same name already exists on the server it is overwritten. Upon sucessfully
putting the script on the server the script is set active. If <file> has the extension .script it is chopped when put on the server since
sieve names may not contain a '.'.
-a <name> Set <name> as the active script. The list of available names can be obtained from the '-l' option..
-d <name> Delete the sieve script on the server with <name>.
-m <mechanism> Force installsieve to use <mechanism> for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism is chosen.
-g <name> Get the sieve script with <name> and save it to disk with a ".script" extension. If a file with that name already exists it is
overwritten.
-u <user> Userid/Authname to use for authentication; by default, the current user.
