Thanks for the above solution .
Another tip I want for removing the chosen option to not appear in the options.
Say i chose 1) filname1 . I dont want it to appear again.

I have tried like below (HP UNIX) but cannot get it to work:

Code:
PS3="Enter corresponding number and hit enter:"
select DIR in `cat mylist`  QUIT
do
if [ -z "$DIR" ]
   then
   echo "INVALID INPUT"
else
if [ -d "$mysource/$DIR" ]; then
echo "Copying $mysource/$DIR ................................"
             cp -rp $mysource/$DIR $mydest/
 
                  mv -f mylist mylist1
                  perl -ne "print unless /\b$DIR\b/" mylist1 > mylist
               
else
     break
  fi
  fi
  REPLY=''
done
