(p, P) Print users info

(a, A) Add new user

(s, S) Search user

(d, D) Delete user

(x,X) Exit

 

Enter your choice:

Trying to make this menu and have all those functions work. Im trying to incorporate a loop, case statements, pretty much have a menu that you choose the option and then continue to the sub option.

Im trying to create my own first project. It is not a company based or homework based. Im trying to explore my possibilities as Im learning UNIX.

Now, your spec is quite unspecific and vague, so don't expect too detailed hints. Look into your bash's man page for e.g. the select statement. In conjunction with the case statement and the PS3 parameter you'll get pretty close to what you want.
