Bash to goto specific line/function and start processing if user response is yes
In the bash below I am trying to run the script entire script including the ....(which is a bunch of code) and then in the run function if the user response is y (line in bold). then start processing from execute function. Basically, goto the # extract folder for variable filename line and start processing. I know bash does not have a goto, so I thought a function or is there a better way? Thank you .
Currently the script does seem to execute but it completes in under minute with no new folders and files created. If I remove the execute() {}, the script functions properly, producing all folders and files, taking ~3 hours to complete.

Reason: fixed typo
Throws an unexpected ;; on the mv line in # move folder to backup. Removing the ;; does allow the scrip[t to execute but with the same results (processes too quickly). Did I misunderstand or do something else? Thank you very much .

Hello,
I am re-processing some files when a specific condition is met. The condition is read from the filename. Since files may need to be re-processed a number of times before they no longer meet the condition, I need to know when to stop re-processing. I am having trouble visualizing the... (3 Replies)
I'm working on a personal project, a multiplication quiz script for my kids. In it, the user's performance will be recorded and written to a file. After they've played it a little while, it will start to focus more on the ones that give them the most trouble-- that take a long time to answer or... (4 Replies)

Hi,
I have the following file,
ABC.txt:
ABC=123

so the same file ABC.txt should look as follows
ABC=123
#DEF=234
FGH=345
Sorry if its a... (6 Replies)
Apologies for the utter triviality of this question, but we all have to start somewhere! I've also tried searching but this question is pretty vague so I didn't (a) really know what to search for or (b) get many relevant hits to what I did search for.
Anyway, I'm in the process of self-teaching... (1 Reply)
