Thank you Smilie, it is working now.

---------- Post updated at 09:24 AM ---------- Previous update was at 08:08 AM ----------

Spoke to soon, I added the below lines and the same thing happens, can you please take a look at what I am over-looking? Thank you Smilie.

What is supposed to happen is after the variant is entered by the user it is saved in ${id}.txt and the NameChecker python script is run.
The result of the NameChecker is displayed and the user is asked if the variant is correct, if the answer is "Y" then goto the position function, but if the answer is "N" then goto the gjb2 function and ${id}.txt is cleared. Thank you Smilie.

Code:
 # run python NameChecker
	cd 'C:'
    C:/Users/cmccabe/Desktop/Python27/python.exe C:/Users/cmccabe/Desktop/Python27/run_batch_job.py C:/Users/cmccabe/Desktop/Python27/${id}.txt NameChecker
	
check() {
    printf "\n\n"
    printf "Is the variant correct?  Y/N "; read match_choice

    case "$match_choice" in
        [yY]) id=""; position ;;
        [nN]) id=""; gjb2 ;; echo -n "" > ${id}.txt  
    esac
}

    position() {                  
# run python PositionConverter
    printf "\n\n"
	cd 'C:'
    C:/Users/cmccabe/Desktop/Python27/python.exe C:/Users/cmccabe/Desktop/Python27/run_batch_job.py C:/Users/cmccabe/Desktop/Python27/${id}.txt C:/Users/cmccabe/Desktop/annovar/${id}.txt PositionConverter
    convert
}

PYTHON-CONFIG(1)					      General Commands Manual						  PYTHON-CONFIG(1)

NAME
python-config - output build options for python C/C++ extensions or embedding SYNOPSIS
python-config [ --prefix ] [ --exec-prefix ] [ --includes ] [ --libs ] [ --cflags ] [ --ldflags ] [ --help ] DESCRIPTION
python-config helps compiling and linking programs, which embed the Python interpreter, or extension modules that can be loaded dynamically (at run time) into the interpreter. OPTIONS
--cflags print the C compiler flags. --ldflags print the flags that should be passed to the linker. --includes similar to --cflags but only with -I options (path to python header files). --libs similar to --ldflags but only with -l options (used libraries). --prefix prints the prefix (base directory) under which python can be found. --exec-prefix print the prefix used for executable program directories (such as bin, sbin, etc). --help print the usage message. EXAMPLES
To build the singe-file c program prog against the python library, use gcc $(python-config --cflags --ldflags) progr.cpp -o progr.cpp The same in a makefile: CFLAGS+=$(shell python-config --cflags) LDFLAGS+=$(shell python-config --ldflags) all: progr To build a dynamically loadable python module, use gcc $(python-config --cflags --ldflags) -shared -fPIC progr.cpp -o progr.so SEE ALSO
