	echo "2. Add channel"
	echo "3. Remove channel"

	echo "7. Exit"
	read x
	case $x in
        1)	cat channels.txt ;;
        2)	echo "Say the channel to add:"
			read channel_add

					echo "Channel already exists"

			  fi ;;
	3)	echo "Say channel to remove:"
			read channel_remove
				if [ grep -q $channel_remove 'channels.txt' == 0 ]; then

			                echo "The channel you want to remove, does't exist."
			  fi ;;
  4)	
	5)	echo "Say the channel from wich to list users:"
			read channel
				if [ cat registrations.txt | grep $channel ]; then
					cat registrations.txt | grep $channel | cut -d ' ' -f3
				else 
					echo "The channel doesn't exist!"
				fi ;;
	6)	echo "Say the channel:"
			read channel
		echo "Say the user to remove:"
			read user
				if [ cat registrations.txt | grep $user | grep $channel ]; then
					line=$(cat -n registrations.txt | grep $user | grep $channel)
					echo "$line" << "registrations.txt"
		  fi;;			
	7)	echo "Till next time :)" ;;
	*)	echo "Invalid option"
			x=0;;
	esac
done
