Problem with executing a possible if or case statement script
Use and complete the template provided. The entire template must be completed. If you don't, your post may be deleted!
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data:
Create a phonebook program.
It should use functions to perform the required tasks. It should be menu-based, allowing you the options of:
* Search address book
* Add entries
You will also need a Display function to present the result.
Suggestions:
The phonebook is basically an ASCII file with Phone Number, Name, Email Address and zipcode.
Try to use ":" as field seperator [IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/ROBERT%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image002.gif[/IMG]
2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms:
I would think to use either case and if statements together, trying to nest them, or possibly using a loop of some kind, but I haven't gotten the whole loop thing down.
I know that i havent incorporated the phone list into it yet, but i just want my scripting to work. Not sure if I'm reading the problem correctly either.
3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):
GNU nano 1.2.4 Filehonebook
Code:
# ==================================================================================================
# Title: Phonebook directory
# Owner: Rob
# Purpose: To allow the user to look up directories in the file
# ==================================================================================================
printf "Who would you like to search for in our database? \n"
printf "Enter your option for a record: \n a: add \n s: search \n e: exit \n"; read option
case "$option" in
"a") echo "A new record will be added.";;
"s") echo "You have chosen to search the directory";;
"e") echo "You have chosen to exit the database. Goodbye..";;
*) echo "That is an invalid option.";;
if [ "$option" = "s" ]
then
echo "`more phonelist`"
else
if [ "$choice" = "a" ]
then
echo "input the name of the person you would like to add"
else
if [ "$chioce" = "e" ]
then
echo "you have chosen to leave the database. Goodbye..."
else
echo "That is an invalid option"

The names and likenesses are all made up, but for the sake of the assignment they are there.
