Writing Code

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:
Write a script that will perform the grep command on a user defined file and a user defined pattern


2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:
must use grep command (that is the only piece of information that was given)


3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):

Code:
clear
loop=y
while [ "$loop" = y ]
do
 tput cup 2 23; echo " ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "
 tput cup 3 23; echo " * Search for a Pattern * "
 tput cup 4 23; echo " ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "
 tput cup 6 5; echo "Type in the pattern and path to the file you want to search for below," 
 tput cup 7 5; echo "or type Q to return to previous screen."
 tput cup 9 10; echo "Ex. : help /home/james/project/help"
 tput cup 11 5; 
read choice || continue
  case $choice in
    [Q,q]) clear; exit ;;
    *) grep * ;; esac
done

I understand that the grep * is telling it to look for a wildcard, however, I am not sure what it is that I need to write on that line.

4) Complete Name of School (University), City (State), Country, Name of Professor, and Course Number (Link to Course):
Fort Valley State University, Fort Valley Ga, Dr. Wang, CSCI 3331

NAME
qsexec - parses the data received via stdin and executes the defined command on a pattern match. SYNOPSIS
qsexec -e <pattern> [-t <number>:<sec>] [-c <pattern> [<command string>]] [-p] [-u <user>] <command string> DESCRIPTION
qsexec reads log lines from stdin and searches for the defined pattern. It executes the defined command string on pattern match. OPTIONS
-e <pattern> Specifes the search pattern causing an event which shall trigger the command. -t <number>:<sec> Defines the number of pattern match within the the defined number of seconds in order to trigger the command execution. By default, every pattern match causes a command execution. -c <pattern> [<command string>] Pattern which clears the event counter. Executes optionally a command if an event command has been executed before. -p Writes data also to stdout (for piped logging). -u <name> Become another user, e.g. www-data. <command string> Defines the event command string where $0-$9 are substituted by the submatches of the regular expression. EXAMPLE
Executes the deny.sh script providing the IP address of the client causing a mod_qos(031) messages whenever the log message appears 10 times within at most one minute: ErrorLog "|qsexec -e 'mod_qos(031).*, c=([0-9.]*)' -t 10:60 '/bin/deny.sh $1'" SEE ALSO
