I see you creating the file, but why do you think

Code:
if [ "$apname" = "$1" ]


is searching in auto.parts?

It isn't.


Morever: if you are entering "100 Brake", you need to split the quantity from the part.

Try this
Code:
echo "Enter qty part"
read line
echo "You typed $line"
set $line
echo $1 
echo $2

Does that help?

Sure. Try

grep -q "^$apname" auto.parts && echo "is in parts"

apc_cas

APC_CAS(3)								 1								APC_CAS(3)

apc_cas - Updates an old value with a new value

SYNOPSIS

       bool apc_cas (string  $key, int	$old, int  $new)

DESCRIPTION

       apc_cas(3)  updates  an	already existing integer value if the $old parameter matches the currently stored value with the value of the $new
       parameter.

PARAMETERS

	      o $key
		- The key of the value being updated.

	      o $old
		- The old value (the value currently stored).

	      o $new
		- The new value to update to.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      apc_cas(3) example

	      <?php
	      apc_store('foobar', 2);
	      echo '$foobar = 2', PHP_EOL;
	      echo '$foobar == 1 ? 2 : 1 = ', (apc_cas('foobar', 1, 2) ? 'ok' : 'fail'), PHP_EOL;
	      echo '$foobar == 2 ? 1 : 2 = ', (apc_cas('foobar', 2, 1) ? 'ok' : 'fail'), PHP_EOL;

	      echo '$foobar = ', apc_fetch('foobar'), PHP_EOL;

	      echo '$f__bar == 1 ? 2 : 1 = ', (apc_cas('f__bar', 1, 2) ? 'ok' : 'fail'), PHP_EOL;

	      apc_store('perfection', 'xyz');
	      echo '$perfection == 2 ? 1 : 2 = ', (apc_cas('perfection', 2, 1) ? 'ok' : 'epic fail'), PHP_EOL;

	      echo '$foobar = ', apc_fetch('foobar'), PHP_EOL;
	      ?>

	      The above example will output something similar to:

	      $foobar = 2
	      $foobar == 1 ? 2 : 1 = fail
	      $foobar == 2 ? 1 : 2 = ok
	      $foobar = 1
	      $f__bar == 1 ? 2 : 1 = fail
	      $perfection == 2 ? 1 : 2 = epic fail
	      $foobar = 1
