Problem solved!

Though not finished yet, this is what I am using:

echo -e read "enter name"
read netwrk
for DIR in $(find /usr/$netwrk -type d -prune | sed 's/\.\///g');do if expr match "$netapp" "[[:lower:]]*$" > /dev/null; then echo "$netapp - Lowercase
"; elif expr match "$netwrk" "[[:upper:]]*$"; then echo "$netwrk - Uppercase";fi;done>/tmp/filea
export varz=`echo $netwrk |tr [a-z] [A-Z]`
for DIR in $(find /var/$varz -type d -prune | sed 's/\.\///g');do if expr match "$varz" "[[:lower:]]*$" > /dev/null; then echo "$varz - Lowercase
"; elif expr match "$varz" "[[:upper:]]*$"; then echo "$varz - Uppercase";fi;done>/tmp/fileb


if [[ -s /tmp/filea && -s /tmp/fileb ]]; then echo "you need to try both lower and upper case"; elif [[ -s /tmp/filea ]]; then echo "you're done";fiI am trying to work with user input and see if a directory is both upper and lower case and the above is actually working. I am going to shorten it as it does not need to be so long and there are some unneeded lines. I was able to successfully detect if the directory was there or wasn't there using this. I am very thankful for your posts as I do believe it was the fact that I was using this user-input method that the other scripts did not work. As the user would only type in once a directory in upper or lower case the scripts would check to see if that upper case or lower case directory was there but of course not both upper and lower as the user only typed the name once in ONE case. Again, thanks so much, especially to Corona! I am going to revise the above and also have it remove filea and b when the script is done. I am already successfully using the above script and my problem is solved. You've lead this noob to see the error of their ways and how to better explain things! And you guys are right about putting code on more than one line, I will have to let my superstitions go and do that!
