Case inside case?
Im new to unix and shell scripting. I am required to write a program and im in the process of creating a menu system. I have my main menu but i want to be able to select an option that takes me onto another menu. I have tried doing this with the case statement with no luck so far. Wondering if it is possible or if there is another way i should be doing it?
Thanks.
