You are welcome. It's always good and satisfying to see people learn and become creative.

Now, to your script. If it works as intended, that's fine, be it professional or not. Congrats!

Of course, it might benefit from some polishing. When I proposed to "source" the file, I meant that - not execute a new script in a subshell. Look up source in man bash. No copying #!/bin/bash to the file, no chmod - much less hassle.
When you want to "iinclude the file "ipmacmap" inside the script", do you mean creation of the file? Yes, that can be done, but: please don't raise vague enquiries but post hard facts: sample input data, desired output, the logics connecting the two, preferred tools, versions, etc. While in your case the output seems to be already defined, it mayhap could be reconsidered to better fit into the overall process.
