What you're doing doesn't seem very clear, I'm afraid. Post the code.

EDIT: From your error, lose the /tmp/ on cat - $WEB already contains the full path.

just cat $WEB doesnt work it still gives the error

Code:
cat: /tmp/WEB.i077x1v6mW: No such file or directory

Code:
2)
echo "Here is the code:"
cat /tmp/$WEB

break;;

there is nothing wrong with the script it something wrong with the temporary file part

Code:
WEB=$(mktemp -t WEB.XXXXXXXXXX)

Code:
cat $WEB

that is all, i cannot cat the $web variable to view its contents. Thats all im having trouble with

So in that case, does this work for you outside of your script? Just type this in the shell like I did and I did not get any error below:

Code:
sherlock ~]$ WEB=$(mktemp -t WEB.XXXXXXXXX)
sherlock ~]$ cat $WEB
sherlock ~]$ echo $WEB
/tmp/WEB.RvGpfFchV

yes that worked

but when i store something in a file and i do cat $WEB, shouldnt it show me the contents of that file?
