Read with two values
I have a script like this:

Code:
read -e -r -p "enter name of product in CAPS:  " ITEM
echo -e "Please enter the product number"
read -e -r -p "Enter list at date:" list

#Here someone enters case6 for ITEM

Code:
if [[ $ITEM == case6 ]]; then ITEMLST=`echo CASESIX`;fi

Then I have commands that look for the directory CASESIX and retrieves files: This command uses $ITEMLIST as the variable


after that I want to be able to ssh to case6:.

Code:
for i in `cat /tmp/productlist`; do su ncacct -c "ssh $ITEM /usr/query -m $i""" |
gawk '{if ($3 == "TLD") print "product '$i' is in truck"}';done

The problem is that I want the user to be able to enter either case6 or CASESIX and have the script go to the directory CASESIX which value "ITEMLST" holds.

Right now they must enter case6 and then the variable will get translated to CASESIX for the directory CASESIX. after that the ssh command will use "case6" as the value and ssh to the host case6

Is there a way to do this other than to make someone enter case6 for the read command? I would like if someone could enter case6 or CASESIX in that read command somehow and have the last command know that it should use case6 to ssh. Maybe it is not possible?

mitem_value

mitem_value(3X) 														   mitem_value(3X)

NAME

       mitem_value - set and get menu item values

SYNOPSIS

       #include <menu.h>
       int set_item_value(ITEM *item, bool value);
       bool item_value(const ITEM *item);

DESCRIPTION

       If  you	turn off the menu option O_ONEVALUE (e.g., with set_menu_opts or menu_opts_off; see menu_opts(3X)), the menu becomes multi-valued;
       that is, more than one item may simultaneously be selected.

       In a multi_valued menu, you can used set_item_value to select the given menu item (second argument TRUE) or deselect  it  (second  argument
       FALSE).

RETURN VALUE

       The function set_item_value returns one of the following:

       E_OK The routine succeeded.

       E_SYSTEM_ERROR
	    System error occurred (see errno).

       E_REQUEST_DENIED
	    The menu driver could not process the request.

SEE ALSO

       curses(3X), menu(3X).

NOTES

       The header file <menu.h> automatically includes the header file <curses.h>.

PORTABILITY

       These routines emulate the System V menu library.  They were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
