bash hell , removing " and adding from a strings

I'm writing a bash script and i'm stuck

the out put of a dialog menu is

echo $select

and very new to bash scripting and i've no idea how to do this
any help would be fantastic

Mojo::Parameters(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				     Mojo::Parameters(3pm)

NAME
Mojo::Parameters - Parameter container SYNOPSIS
use Mojo::Parameters; my $p = Mojo::Parameters->new(foo => 'bar', baz => 23); DESCRIPTION
Mojo::Parameters is a container for form parameters. ATTRIBUTES
Mojo::Parameters implements the following attributes. "charset" my $charset = $p->charset; $p = $p->charset('UTF-8'); Charset used for decoding parameters, defaults to "UTF-8". "pair_separator" my $separator = $p->pair_separator; $p = $p->pair_separator(';'); Separator for parameter pairs, defaults to "&". METHODS
Mojo::Parameters inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and implements the following new ones. "new" my $p = Mojo::Parameters->new; my $p = Mojo::Parameters->new('foo=b%3Bar&baz=23'); my $p = Mojo::Parameters->new(foo => 'b;ar'); my $p = Mojo::Parameters->new(foo => ['ba;r', 'b;az']); my $p = Mojo::Parameters->new(foo => ['ba;r', 'b;az'], bar => 23); Construct a new Mojo::Parameters object. "append" $p = $p->append(foo => 'ba;r'); $p = $p->append(foo => ['ba;r', 'b;az']); $p = $p->append(foo => ['ba;r', 'b;az'], bar => 23); Append parameters. # "foo=bar&foo=baz" Mojo::Parameters->new('foo=bar')->append(foo => 'baz'); # "foo=bar&foo=baz&foo=yada" Mojo::Parameters->new('foo=bar')->append(foo => ['baz', 'yada']); # "foo=bar&foo=baz&foo=yada&bar=23" Mojo::Parameters->new('foo=bar')->append(foo => ['baz', 'yada'], bar => 23); "clone" my $p2 = $p->clone; Clone parameters. "merge" $p = $p->merge(Mojo::Parameters->new(foo => 'b;ar', baz => 23)); Merge parameters. "param" my @names = $p->param; my $foo = $p->param('foo'); my @foo = $p->param('foo'); my $foo = $p->param(foo => 'ba;r'); my @foo = $p->param(foo => qw(ba;r ba;z)); Check and replace parameter values. "params" my $params = $p->params; $p = $p->params([foo => 'b;ar', baz => 23]); Parsed parameters. "parse" $p = $p->parse('foo=b%3Bar&baz=23'); Parse parameters. "remove" $p = $p->remove('foo'); Remove parameters. # "bar=yada" Mojo::Parameters->new('foo=bar&foo=baz&bar=yada')->remove('foo'); "to_hash" my $hash = $p->to_hash; Turn parameters into a hash reference. # "baz" Mojo::Parameters->new('foo=bar&foo=baz')->to_hash->{foo}[1]; "to_string" my $string = $p->to_string; Turn parameters into a string.
