The user prompt is executed and if "y" is entered then the menu function is called.
Code:
while true; do
read -p "Do you want to get coverage of a specific panel?" yn
case $yn in
[Yy]* ) menu; break;;
[Nn]* ) exit;;
* ) echo "Please answer yes or no.";;
esac
done
Code:
menu() {
while true
do
printf "\n please make a selection from the MENU \n
==================================
\t 1 Incidental Findings
==================================\n\n"
printf "\t Your choice: "; read menu_choice
case "$menu_choice" in
1) incidental ;; select file1 in $(cd /user/file/data;ls);do break;done
......... (whatever command to execute)
*) printf "\n Invalid choice."; sleep 2 ;;
esac
done
}
So if the "incidental" is selected after the ;; is where to add select file1 in $(cd /user/file/data;ls);do break;done ? Thank you

The `bash` below uses the oldest folder in the specified directory and logs it. The goes though an analysis process and creates a log.

The below bash is trying to list the folders in a specific directory.

In the bash below the oldest folder in a directory is selected.

LEARN ABOUT OPENDARWIN
menu_win
menu_win(3X)menu_win(3X)NAME
menu_win - make and break menu window and subwindow associations
SYNOPSIS
#include <menu.h>
int set_menu_win(MENU *menu, WINDOW *win);
WINDOW *menu_win(const MENU *menu);
int set_menu_sub(MENU *menu, WINDOW *sub);
WINDOW *menu_sub(const MENU *menu);
int scale_menu(const MENU *menu, int *rows, int *columns);
DESCRIPTION
Every menu has an associated pair of curses windows. The menu window displays any title and border associated with the window; the menu
subwindow displays the items of the menu that are currently available for selection.
The first four functions get and set those windows. It is not necessary to set either window; by default, the driver code uses stdscr for
both.
In the set_ functions, window argument of NULL is treated as though it were stsdcr. A menu argument of NULL is treated as a request to
change the system default menu window or subwindow.
The function scale_menu returns the minimum size required for the subwindow of menu.
RETURN VALUE
Routines that return pointers return NULL on error. Routines that return an integer return one of the following error codes:
E_OK The routine succeeded.
E_SYSTEM_ERROR
System error occurred (see errno).
E_BAD_ARGUMENT
Routine detected an incorrect or out-of-range argument.
E_POSTED
The menu has already been posted.
E_NOT_CONNECTED
No items are connected to the menu.
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.
