Provide all the inputs to the script, the output that it is generating, and the output that is desired. What's in thing.txt? Where are $f_location and $answer coming from? What are their values?
If you're only showing us a portion of the script and passing it off as the entire thing, you're doing everyone (including yourself) a disservice by wasting our time (yours included).

Alister

NAME
script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION

record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.
