Sorry sir, could you explain this part please!!!Smilie

The case statement reads the options on the command line and sets variables based on what it finds.

Because say if the user runs "test -s" in the command line will the output go to standard output?

If you entered test -s, you should get an error message (the code I posted isn't that sophiticated, however), because, according to what you posted before, it should have a searchphrase argument.
