say that now I can chose from 1-30 , but the script have a search function and the number to chose from the list depends of what you search.

Maybe this would make you understand what I mean,
the script is to get files from an ftp server

Code:
echo "1 search file"
echo "2 exit"
rm -f ~/test

while : ; do
  read i;
  if [ $i -eq 1 ]; then
  break

  else
  if [ $i -eq 2 ]; then
  exit

  else
  echo "chose between 1 or 2 "

  fi
  fi
done

echo "type file name" & read f
lftp -e "site search $f > ~/test & exit" ftp.xxx.xxx -u pelle,xxx -p 121
sleep 8

if [ -f ~/test ]
then
        cat ~/test | grep -E 'incoming|archive|requests' > ~/test1
        cut -b 6-100 ~/test1 > ~/test2
else
    echo "server down" & sleep 2 & exit
fi

#numbered list
cat -n ~/test2 > ~/test3
cat ~/test3

#Chose from list
echo "chose a number to download"
while : ; do
  read i;
  if [ $i -ge 1 ] && [ $i -le 30 ]; then
    break
  fi
  echo "Answer from 1 to 30"
done
sed -n ${i}p ~/test3 > ~/test4

So as you can see the length of the list depends of what file you search

    break
  fi
  echo "Answer from 1 to $srch."
done
sed -n ${i}p ~/test3 > ~/test4
