---------- Post updated at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous update was at 04:19 PM ----------

I have determined that I need to use

Code:
echo "$choice"

but the only problem is I dont know how to make grep run the echo code

---------- Post updated at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous update was at 06:47 PM ----------

update 2:

I figured out that I can complete this task by using this command:

Code:
 grep `echo "$choice"`

now the only thing I have left is to figure out how to make it scrollable... which I know i need to use

Code:
 more

but not sure exactly how to do that

---------- Post updated at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous update was at 07:18 PM ----------

Final Update:

was able to complete the project, here is my final code

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 $choice in
    [Q,q]) clear; exit ;;
    *) clear; tput cup 13 0; grep `echo "$choice"` | more; clear ;; esac
done

zgrep

ZGREP(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						  ZGREP(1)

NAME

     zgrep, zegrep, zfgrep -- print lines matching a pattern in gzip-compressed files

SYNOPSIS

     zgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [files ...]

     zegrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...]

     zfgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...]

DESCRIPTION

     zgrep runs grep(1) on files or stdin, if no files argument is given, after decompressing them with zcat(1).

     The grep-flags and pattern arguments are passed on to grep(1).  If an -e flag is found in the grep-flags, zgrep will not look for a pattern
     argument.

     zegrep calls egrep(1), while zfgrep calls fgrep(1).

EXIT STATUS

     In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned, otherwise 0.

SEE ALSO

     egrep(1), fgrep(1), grep(1), gzip(1), zcat(1)
