Searching a file - and assigning responses to variables (or something)
So first: Sorry if the title is confusing...
I have a script I'm writing with a file with several names in it (some other info - but it's not really pertinent...) - I want to be allow the user to delete certain records, but I ran into a problem I'm not sure how to go about fixing.
If I were doing this in Java - I would simply say 'record 1 = so-and-so' and 'record 2 = this other guy.' Which one do you want to delete? But how can I do that in a bash script?
A better example:
Code:
Who do you want to delete? Nikki
Found 2 Nikki's:
1 - Nikki the Teacher
2 - Nikki the Secretary
Which one to delete?
I am searching the file using nawk '$name' - any suggestions on having the script say 'here's 1 - that's #1, here's another - that's #2 - which one do you want?'
Thanks...
