I don't think above code is working fine. Having corrected several logical and syntactical errors, I'm still not sure I understand what you are doing - you have a list of six name constants, and six variables named identically. The latter are used to hold either a character string alternative name to be read from stdin (user terminal) or, if that is missing, an integer word count for, again, text constants. In the end, if an alternate name is entered, you output that, otherwise the word count for the respective text constant in a /tmp file. On top, your recursive use of functions is somewhat unorthodox.

Assuming you have a recent bash, and names in a file like

Code:

Kim
Lee
Jack
Sam
Nick
Smith

, try this

Code:

mapfile -tO1 ORIG <file
mapfile -tO1 NAMES <file
select NAME in ${NAMES[@]}
        do [ $REPLY -eq 0 ] && break
           read -p "Enter ${NAMES[$REPLY]} " NAMES[$REPLY]
        done
for i in ${!ORIG[@]}
        do printf "%s(" ${ORIG[$i]}
           [ "${ORIG[$i]}" == "${NAMES[$i]}" ] && 
                printf "%s)\n" $(grep -c ${NAMES[$i]} /tmp/list) ||
                printf "%s)\n" "${NAMES[$i]}"
        done

to reproduce what I think you want to achieve.

ocamlwc

OCAMLWC(1)						      General Commands Manual							OCAMLWC(1)

NAME

       ocamlwc - count the lines of code and comments in OCaml sources

SYNOPSIS

       ocamlwc [options] [files]

DESCRIPTION

       ocamlwc	is  a program to count the number of lines of code and documentation in OCaml sources.	It assumes its input to be lexically well-
       formed.	If no files are given, then ocamlwc reads from stdin.

       The first column of the output lists the number of source lines of code, the second column the number of lines of  documentation,  and  the
       third the respective filename.  If ocamlwc acts on more than one file, then it prints a total in the last line.

OPTIONS

       -p     Print percentage of documentation (in an additional column after the filename).

       -c     Print only the code size, i.e., omit the documentation column.

       -e     (everything) Do not skip headers.  A header is the first comment in a file.

       -a     (all)  Do  not  skip generated files.  foo.ml is a generated file if one of foo.mll, foo.mly, or foo.ml4 is amongst the given files.
	      foo.mli is a generated file if foo.mly is amongst the given files.

       -h     Print short usage information.
