I'm trying to write a shell script which finds all the .zip files in a given directory then lists them on the screen and prompts the user to select one by entering a number e.g.
The available files are:
1. HaveANiceDay.zip
2. LinuxHelp.zip
3. Arrays.zip
Please enter the number of the
archive you would like to select:
What I want to do is store the results of the find command in an array so once the user enters '3' for examaple, I can get the filename by looking up the 3rd array element.
I'm not sure of the syntax for arrays in shell scripts but I want something like this:
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

script
script(1) User Commands script(1)NAME
script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
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.
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

script can pose a security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
