Shell Programming and Scripting

hi
i want to write a script that contain questions upto 50..when i run the script it has to ask the questions one by one with options like a,b,c,d and user has to answer the each question and finally result (contain how many user selected correctly)
please help me...i need hints to do....
waiting for your valuble reply...

please post what have you tried till now..
smells like homework for me

thanks for your reply...
the problem is i dont no how to do..means where to start.. and clearly i have mentioned in my thread i need only hints to do..means that i want to know how to do...some steps(hints)...
i heard that we need to connect to database..etc...i am beginner to shell script..

well...after googled a lot i got somwthing to do...
here is my code..

Code:

while read line
do
echo $line
done < questions.txt

and questions.txt contain all the questions..
the output is coming like this

Code:

srinivas@opensolaris:~$ ./tryingscript.sh 
capital of Hungery
a.budapest
b.paris
c.pitsburgh
d.i dont no
your choice:
The longest river in the world
a.ganga
b.nile
c.bramhaputra
d.dont no
your choice :

Niagara Falls was discovered by
a.jhonny
b.Louis Hennepi
c.kempson
d.adrew heko
your choice:
srinivas@opensolaris:~$

but it has to wait untill user submitted any option...but it is not waiting...
so any help....

So your reading the questions from a flat file, and
I'm assuming everthing that was printed out in your
example (aside from your command line and system prompts)
is in that flatfile.

If so then my hint is that:

When the $line = "Your choice :"

you need to read user input.

Currently, your script does not do this.

yes you are right..reading from a flat file..
but still i am confused...where i have to place that code..i tried..but no use....
can you tell me..

I thought you were looking for hints.

Hint: After the echo of the line you need to stop
to collect user input.

Problem: You've redirected input into the while loop command.

Hint: You need to solve this problem for it all to work.

Hint: man your shell (i.e. man ksh) and look at the built in 'read' (not man read)

Hint: while in the shell man page, look up 'exec' too.
