Still closes the bash after the getCSV is downloaded. Thank you Smilie.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
cd 'C:\Users\cmccabe\Desktop\wget'
wget -O getCSV.txt http://xxx.xx.xxx.xxx/data/getCSV.csv
print "Enter ID: ";
my $string=<STDIN>;
open FILE, "getCSV.txt" or die $!;
while (<FILE>) { print if /$string/i }
close FILE;
