Hi vgersh99,

The 1st option worked.....but i should use it before i read a Variable
Code:
typeset -l option
read option;

i have one more confusion, i want to avoid special characters in if loop...below is the syntax.....but i want to know is there any other where i can eliminate all Special chars with out using below format.
Code:
if [ $option != "*" ] || [ $option != "?" ] || [ $option != "&" ]

Please advice. Thank you!

item_value

mitem_value(3X) 														   mitem_value(3X)

NAME

       mitem_value - set and get menu item values

SYNOPSIS

       #include <menu.h>
       int set_item_value(ITEM *item, bool value);
       bool item_value(const ITEM *item);

DESCRIPTION

       If  you	turn off the menu option O_ONEVALUE (e.g., with set_menu_opts or menu_opts_off; see menu_opts(3X)), the menu becomes multi-valued;
       that is, more than one item may simultaneously be selected.

       In a multi_valued menu, you can used set_item_value to select the given menu item (second argument TRUE) or deselect  it  (second  argument
       FALSE).

RETURN VALUE

       The function set_item_value returns one of the following:

       E_OK The routine succeeded.

       E_SYSTEM_ERROR
	    System error occurred (see errno).

       E_REQUEST_DENIED
	    The menu driver could not process the request.

SEE ALSO

       curses(3X), menu(3X).

NOTES

       The header file <menu.h> automatically includes the header file <curses.h>.

PORTABILITY

       These routines emulate the System V menu library.  They were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
