Help with if then sentence (string in file)
Hello! I'd like some help with a sentance, this 'if' should take a string from the user, then search my list for that string, now only those lines that string is found should be worked on.

I'm new to this, but i'm guessing it's something like this..

Code:
           #!/bin/bash
           OPTIONS="opt1 opt2 opt3"
           select opt in $OPTIONS; do
               if [ "$opt" = "opt1" ]; then
                # how can I search the list for 'opt1' ?
               elif [ "$opt" = "opt2" ]; then
                # or 'opt2' ..
               elif [ "$opt" = "opt3" ]; then
                # or 'opt3' ..
               else
                clear
                echo bad option
               fi
           done

Maybe there's something better than an if sentance for this?
The file is a list of countrys and citys, like this:

Code:
Country: Sweden, City: Stockholm
Country: Sweden, City: Malmö
Country: Norway, City: Oslo
Country: Norway, City: Bergen

Let's call this file 'addresses' and, the options in the script could be country names, like Sweden or Norway, and if the user choses 'Norway' we would copy all 'addresses' with Norway, as Country

I hope you understand, and can find some time to help me! (and please, if you have a solution, try and explain it alittle, as I said, i'm new.. )

locale::codes::country

Locale::Codes::Country(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				 Locale::Codes::Country(3)

NAME

       Locale::Codes::Country - standard codes for country identification

SYNOPSIS

	  use Locale::Codes::Country;

	  $country = code2country('jp' [,CODESET]);	   # $country gets 'Japan'
	  $code    = country2code('Norway' [,CODESET]);    # $code gets 'no'

	  @codes   = all_country_codes( [CODESET]);
	  @names   = all_country_names();

	  # semi-private routines
	  Locale::Codes::Country::alias_code('uk' => 'gb');
	  Locale::Codes::Country::rename_country('gb' => 'Great Britain');

DESCRIPTION

       The "Locale::Codes::Country" module provides access to several code sets that can be used for identifying countries, such as those defined
       in ISO 3166-1.

       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 3166-1
       two-letter codes will be used.

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying countries. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant
       that is automatically exported by this module.

       For example, the two are equivalent:

	  $country = code2country('jp','alpha-2');
	  $country = code2country('jp',LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2);

       The codesets currently supported are:

       alpha-2, LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2
	   This is the set of two-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 3166-1, such as 'tv' for Tuvalu.

	   This is the default code set.

       alpha-3, LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_3
	   This is the set of three-letter (lowercase) codes from ISO 3166-1, such as 'brb' for Barbados. These codes are actually defined and
	   maintained by the U.N. Statistics division.

       numeric, LOCALE_CODE_NUMERIC
	   This is the set of three-digit numeric codes from ISO 3166-1, such as 064 for Bhutan. These codes are actually defined and maintained
	   by the U.N. Statistics division.

	   If a 2-digit code is entered, it is converted to 3 digits by prepending a 0.

       fips-10, LOCALE_CODE_FIPS
	   The FIPS 10 data are two-letter (uppercase) codes assigned by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.

	   NOTE: The FIPS-10 document is being withdrawn.  It was deprecated in 2008, and is being updated now only until all the agencies that
	   use it have switched to something else.

	   I will continue to support the FIPS-10 codeset as long as it is available, but at the point it is no longer available, support will be
	   withdrawn immediately.  If an official end-of-life date is announced, I will include a notice here.	Otherwise, support for the codeset
	   will be discontinued when the document is withdrawn.

	   You are encouraged to no longer use the FIPS-10 codeset.

       dom, LOCALE_CODE_DOM
	   The IANA is responsible for delegating management of the top level country domains.	The country domains are the two-letter (lowercase)
	   codes from ISO 3166 with a few other additions.

ROUTINES

       code2country ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       country2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
       country_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
       all_country_codes ( [CODESET] )
       all_country_names ( [CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Country::rename_country  ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Country::add_country  ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Country::delete_country  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Country::add_country_alias  ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
       Locale::Codes::Country::delete_country_alias  ( NAME )
       Locale::Codes::Country::rename_country_code  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Country::add_country_code_alias  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Country::delete_country_code_alias  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
	   These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.

       alias_code ( ALIAS, CODE [,CODESET] )
	   Version 2.07 included 2 functions for modifying the internal data: rename_country and alias_code. Both of these could be used only to
	   modify the internal data for country codes.

	   As of 3.10, the internal data for all types of codes can be modified.

	   The alias_code function is preserved for backwards compatibility, but the following two are identical:

	      alias_code(ALIAS,CODE [,CODESET]);
	      rename_country_code(CODE,ALIAS [,CODESET]);

	   and the latter should be used for consistency.

	   The alias_code function is deprecated and will be removed at some point in the future.

	   Note: this function was previously called _alias_code, but the leading underscore has been dropped. The old name was supported for all
	   2.X releases, but has been dropped as of 3.00.
