display problem
hi i have written a script
#!/bin/sh

clear

menu()
{

......
echo "enter 4 for finding text in a files"
echo "input: \c"
}
switch()
{
read input
case $input in

.......

4) echo "find"
echo "type name of the file: \c"
read fname
echo "type absolute name of the file: \c"
read absolute
echo "type word you want to find: \c"
read string
cd $absolute
for i in `find $absolute -name $fname | xargs grep $string` ; do
echo $i;
done
esac
}
menu
switch
clear

until [ $input = 5 ] ; do
menu
switch
clear;
done

the problem is that as soon as the find option is complete the loop runs again and there is no way of confirming it to the user that the find option has been displayed also it is necessary to run in a loop and need to clear the screen.

Also how do I confirm that the file exists or not inside the script

Thank You In Advance.
