Hi,

you could use this for the second part. This way you save two external
processes and a number of lines.

Code:

while [[ $vrfy2 != true ]]
do
    if [[ "$id" == [0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9] ]] 
    then 
        vrfy2=true 
    else 
        read -p "Enter ID in format 000-000-000: " id 
    fi
done
