Reading specific line in a text file

Hello cfaJohnson,
I do apologise, but I had the code in origianally but becasue it was not working, I took it out and sent you the currently working version.
The full code is below:

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
#set -x

# This program extract data from a text file which holds wagering information for games and use these data as parameters
# for the TSIM (Transaction Simulator), which then generates various combinations of wagers (from the text file) using 
# a vitual terminal (terminal 100)
 

main() 
{
 echo "\nPlease enter the Test Day or 0 for all days: "  
 read x                                                  
 count=0
        proveen=0
      lnum=0
        checker="false"
 
     while read line ; 
 
 do                                     
        
        echo $line | read a b c d                        
  
  let lnum=lnum+1
     
   if  [ "$a" = "$x" ] ; then               
                
    
           ( IFS=-     # Ignores dashes
      printf ' 1\n 1\n 0\n 0\n'
