Hi, cmcabe

Here's an example of what it could be. It is done on the fly and not tested or guarantee to do anything useful for you.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

#### FUNCTIONS ####

# modifications to the functionality of the program
# can be done here without changing the flow of the script

ask (){
    local IFS=','
    echo "A search id must be entered"
    echo "Multiple ids can be entered if separated by comma"
    echo "Please ENTER the id(s) now: "
    read -a id
    if [[ -z $id ]]; then
        echo "Missing search ID"
        echo "Goodbye!"
        exit 1
    fi
}

search (){
    p="no"
    # search every entry given by the user
    for i in ${id[@]}; do
        grep -n "$i" "$1" >> "$2"

        # update user at stdout
        if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then
            echo "ID: $i found"
            p="yes"
        else
            echo "ID: $i not found"
        fi
    done
}

clean_up (){
    # Let's not leave an empty file if not match was found
    if [[ ! -s "$1" ]]; then
        rm -f "$1"
    fi
}

bye () {
    if [[ $p == "yes" ]]; then
        echo "Please, check file $1 for results"
    fi
}

check () {
   if [[ ! -s $1 ]]; then
       echo "$1 does not exist or it is empty"
       echo "Goodbye!"
       exit 1
   fi 
}

# manual configuration can be done here

ROOTDIR='C:\Users\cmccabe\Desktop\wget'
MATCH="${ROOTDIR}\\match.txt"

     Detailed interface description follows.

   Available colors:
	   Green
	   Red
	   Yellow
	   White
     The color parameter is non-case-sensitive (i.e. RED, red, ReD, and all the other forms are valid and are the same as Red).

     Sets the current printing color to color.

   colorReset
     Resets current tty color back to normal.

   colorPrint [<indent>] <color>
     Prints text using the color color indented by indent (without adding a newline).

		  $ colorReset

	  Using colorPrint:
