Thanks again! One last question...I'm trying to understand the read command a little better. Is there an option where it reads only what the user inputs? Let me give an example of what i mean. Lets say the user inputs DOOR. I understand the read command will assign the value to the varable to "DOOR". But when I use that variable to search other files named "DOOR" it will return "DOOR" and "DOOR2ND". How can I make it to only return "DOOR"? Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
