Hammer & Screwdriver Function call

Hi foiks

i am unable to find what is wrong in my code
mu functionality is to exit from shell when i give 99 but it is not calling function ext
Could you please correct me.

Code:
read option
if [ "$option" == "99" ];
   then
   ext
else 
   echo "out"
fi
        function ext
  {
  echo "tested 99 and exit is working"
  }

Hello now i want to pass some string which always start with BDR but end charcters can be anything i just want to check if starting with BDR it must proceesd. But the script is not behaving like that

Code:
function ext
  {
   echo "THANK"
  }

function upc
  {

echo   "TO EXPORT UPROC GIVE UPROC NAME"
echo   "TO GO BACK PRESS 99"
   read parm0
   if [ "$parm0" == "BDR*" ];
      then
      $UXEXE/uxext upr upr=$parm0 output=$parm0.upr APP
      echo "$output UPROC exported"
      elif [ "$parm0" == "99" ];
      then
      start
      else
      echo "error in exporting"
     fi
  }
function start {

   echo      "FOR UPROC EXPORT PRESS 1"
   echo      "FOR SESSION EXPORT PRESS 2"
   echo      "FOR PLANNIFICATION EXPORT PRESS 3"
   echo      "TO EXIT PRESS 99"
   read option1
   if [ "$option1" == "1" ];
   then
  
   upc
   elif [ "$option1" == "2" ];
   then
   echo   "SESSION"
   elif [ "$option1" == "3" ];
   then
   echo   "PLAN "
   elif [ "$option1" == "99" ];
   then
   ext
   fi

}

echo "                                                                               *****WELCOME******                                   "
echo "                                                                       PLEASE PRESS 0 TO SERVE YOUR REQUEST                          "
echo "                                                                              TO EXIT PRESS 99                                      "
read option
if [ "$option" == "99" ];
   then

   elif [ "option" == "0" ];

you can't compare BDR* in if statements
use either sed or grep then depending upon exit code do whatever you want

Use case statements, something like:

Code:
case "$parm0" in
  BDR*)
    $UXEXE/uxext upr upr=$parm0 output=$parm0.upr APP
    echo "$output UPROC exported"
    ;;
  99)
    start
    ;;
  *)
    echo "Error in exporting"
esac

    start
    ;;

    echo "Error in exporting"

Code:
******************
for 
do 
    
done
***************
function upc
  {
#for i in $var
echo   "TO EXPORT UPROC GIVE UPROC NAME"
echo   "TO GO BACK PRESS 99"
   read parm0
   if [ "$parm0" == "99" ];
      then
      start
      else
      $UXEXE/uxext upr upr=$parm0 output=$parm0.upr APP
      echo "$output UPROC exported"
     fi
*****************

i want to make functionality like if it meet my if conditin than it should again ask me that DO you want uproc to export
i mean it should go to
Code:
echo   "TO EXPORT UPROC GIVE UPROC NAME"
echo   "TO GO BACK PRESS 99"

Please suggest

You can use a loop like this:

Code:
while true
do
  echo -n "press 1,2 or 99 to stop: "
  read option
  case "$option" in
    1)
      echo "1 pressed"
      ;;
    2)
      echo "2 pressed"
      ;;
    99)
      echo "STOP"
      break
      ;;
    *)
      echo "Wrong choice"
  esac
done
