Using Shell Script to get data from text file

Hello, I have got the script below that reads a text file and then extract data from the third column and then send the result to another shell scrpt call tsim - the script works fine.
The problem I am having is that I want the user to enter the 'Test Day' which the first column in the text file, and depending on the Test Day entered (in this case 1, 2 or 4) the script will extract first instance of the required data from the related line, send the fist set of data to the tsim scrpt and then move on to the next.....CAN ANYONE HELP PLEASE

-----Current Script--------------------
#!/bin/sh
Please enter the Test Day - Enter 0 for all : "
read x
( read a b c d < LottWagers2.txt
IFS=-
printf ' 1\n 20\n 0\n 0\n 1\n 1\n 7\n 0\n'
printf ' %s\n' $c
printf ' 1\n 1\n 0\n 0\n 0\n N\n 1\n 100\n' ) |
"$LOTO"/bin/loto_tsim > /dev/null 2>&1

Test::Inline::Content::Legacy(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			Test::Inline::Content::Legacy(3pm)

NAME
Test::Inline::Content::Legacy - Test::Inline 2 Content Handler for legacy functions SYNOPSIS
Custom script content generation using Test::Inline 2.000+ with a custom generator functions my $header = "...."; my $function = sub { my $Object = shift; my $Script = shift; return $header . $Script->merged_content; }; my $Inline = Test::Inline->new( ... file_content => $function, ); Migrating this same code to Test::Inline 2.100+ ContentHandler objects my $header = "...."; my $function = sub { my $Object = shift; my $Script = shift; return $header . $Script->merged_content; }; my $ContentHandler = Test::Inline::Content::Legacy->new( $function ); my $Inline = Test::Inline->new( ... ContentHandler => $ContentHandler, ); DESCRIPTION
This class exists to provide a migration path for anyone using the custom script generators in Test::Inline via the "file_content" param. The synopsis above pretty much says all you need to know. METHODS
new $CODE_ref The "new" constructor for "Test::Inline::Content::Legacy" takes a single parameter of a "CODE" reference, as you would have previously provided directly to "file_content". Returns a new "Test::Inline::Content::Legacy" object, or "undef" if not passed a "CODE" reference. coderef The "coderef" accessor returns the "CODE" reference for the object process $Inline $Script The "process" method works with the legacy function by passing the Test::Inline and Test::Inline::Script arguments straight through to the legacy function, and returning it's result as the return value.
