Mindtaker!
lol well my next question was how do I determine input is digits or not?
I tried the if echo $1 | grep -qv '[^0-9-]'
but it doesn't appear to accept it as false if I enter a name ie enter 12345678 and it does the number part enter bob and it says invalid number.
Also after I get that figured out how do I get the line from the document that contains the name or number ie entered "bob jones" and it was found in the document. It needs to echo that result
ie Bob Jones 12345567
is there a grep option that returns the line itself?
