When the bash menu is opened the getCSV file is downloaded and then the menu closes. Below is the code as is and what I am trying to do is when the menu is opened the file is downloaded, the user is prompted for the id, and once that is entered it is searched for in the file. While it is being searched for on the screen "searching, please wait" is displayed and when a match is found on the screen "match found in lijne..." is displayed and a file match.txt is written. Thank you for your help .
Code:
#!/bin/bash
cd 'C:\Users\cmccabe\Desktop\wget'
wget -O getCSV.txt http://xxx.xx.xxx.xxx/data/getCSV.csv
search() {
printf "\n\n"
printf "What is the id of the NGS patient: "; 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
printf "searching, please wait"
result=`grep -n "${id}" getCSV.txt`
if [ -n "$result" ]; then
echo "match found in line $result" >> match.txt
else
echo "no match found"
fi
}

menu_pattern
menu_pattern(3X)menu_pattern(3X)NAME
menu_pattern - get and set a menu's pattern buffer
SYNOPSIS
#include <menu.h>
int set_menu_pattern(MENU *menu, const char *pattern);
char *menu_pattern(const MENU *menu);
DESCRIPTION
Every menu has an associated pattern match buffer. As input events that are printable characters come in, they are appended to this match
buffer and tested for a match, as described in menu_driver(3X).
The function set_menu_pattern sets the pattern buffer for the given menu and tries to find the first matching item. If it succeeds, that
item becomes current; if not, the current item does not change.
The function menu_pattern returns the pattern buffer of the given menu.
RETURN VALUE
The function menu_pattern returns a pointer, which is NULL if the menu parameter is NULL. Otherwise, it is a pointer to a string which is
empty if no pattern has been set. It does not set errno.
The function set_menu_pattern may return the following error codes:
E_OK The routine succeeded.
E_BAD_ARGUMENT
Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
E_BAD_STATE
Routine was called from an initialization or termination function.
E_NOT_CONNECTED
No items are connected to menu.
E_NO_MATCH
Character failed to match.
E_SYSTEM_ERROR
System error occurred (see errno).
SEE ALSO curses(3X), menu(3X).
NOTES
The header file <menu.h> automatically includes the header file <curses.h>.
PORTABILITY
These routines emulate the System V menu library. They were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
