The wget is not right in the perl . Thank you Smilie.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
my $result = 'wget -O getCSV.txt http://xxx.xx.xxx.xxx/data/getCSV.csv');

print "Enter ID: ";
my $string = <>;

open FILE, "getCSV.txt" or die $!;

while (<FILE>) { print if /$string/i }
close FILE;

In bash the code below works I am just learning bash however and not sure on other functions yet but am reading up. Thanks.

Code:
#!/bin/bash

cd 'C:\Users\cmccabe\Desktop\wget'
wget -O getCSV.txt http://xxx.xx.xxx.xxx/data/getCSV.csv
 
{
    printf "\n\n"
    printf "What is the id: "; read id
         [ -z "$id" ] && printf "\n No ID supplied. Leaving match function." && sleep 2 && return
         [ "$id" = "end" ] && printf "\n Leaving match function." && sleep 2 && return
}

I am going to close this thread and open a new one sticking to bash . Thank you Smilie.

DEBUGREISERFS(8)					      System Manager's Manual						  DEBUGREISERFS(8)

NAME
debugreiserfs SYNOPSIS
debugreiserfs [ -dDJmoqpS ] [ -j device ] [ -B blocknumber ] device DESCRIPTION
It helps sometimes to solve problems with reiserfs filesystems. Being called w/o options it prints super block of reiserfs filesystem found on the device. device is the special file corresponding to the device (e.g /dev/hdXX for IDE disk partition or /dev/sdXX for SCSI disk partition). OPTIONS
-j device print contents of journal. Also with the option -p it allows to pack journal into archive with other metadata -J print journal header. -d print formatted nodes of the internal tree of the filesystem -D print formatted nodes of all used blocks of the filesystem -m print contents of bitmap (not very useful) -o print objectid map (not very useful) -1 blocknumber print specified block of the filesystem -p Makes debugreiserfs to find filesystem metadata This option exists to help reiserfsck debugging. If reiserfsck fails - you may extract filesystem metadata with debugreiserfs -p /dev/xxx |gzip -c > xxx.gz. We download that data and make the filesystem similar to your with gunzip -c xxx.gz | unpack /dev/xxx (unpack is included into reiserfsprogs package). This usually allows to reproduce and debug the problem quickly. When data file is not too large. -S When -S is not specified -p deals with blocks marked used in the filesystem bitmap. With this option set they will work with whole device. -q Suppress showing speed of progress when -p is in use AUTHOR
This version of debugreiserfs has been written by Hans Reiser <reiser@idiom.com>. BUGS
There are probably few of them. Please, report bugs to ReiserFS mail-list <reiserfs-list@namesys.com>. SEE ALSO
