Bash to goto specific line/function and start processing if user response is yes
In the bash below I am trying to run the script entire script including the ....(which is a bunch of code) and then in the run function if the user response is y (line in bold). then start processing from execute function. Basically, goto the # extract folder for variable filename line and start processing. I know bash does not have a goto, so I thought a function or is there a better way? Thank you .
Currently the script does seem to execute but it completes in under minute with no new folders and files created. If I remove the execute() {}, the script functions properly, producing all folders and files, taking ~3 hours to complete.

ABC=123
#DEF=234
FGH=345

Hello,
