Linux Bash Script Help

Hiya all....

Trying to do a simple script that outputs to a file then ends if the inputed info is correct. But if the info is incorrect they have to go back to the start of the script and remove the file and create a new blank one. This is the part i'm having a bit of trouble

Code:

#!/bin/bash



touch user_profiles.txt 

echo "Please enter you full name =>"

read full_name > user_profiles.txt

clear



echo "Please enter you street address =>"

read number street street_name >> user_profiles.txt

clear



echo "Please enter your City =>"

read city >> user_profiles.txt

clear



echo "Please enter your State (enter entire name no abbreviations) =>"

read state >> user_profiles.txt

clear



echo "Please enter your zip code =>"

read zip >> user_profiles.txt

clear



echo $full_name

echo $number $street $streetname

echo $city, $state $zip



echo "Is this correct? (please enter 1 for yes and 0 for no =>"



read correct

        if [ $correct -eq 0 ]; then

                echo "Thank you for your time, Have a nice day."

        else

                echo "`rm user_profile` ; `bash info`"

        fi

This is what i got so far....please be gentle =)

I debugged your code and made it more modular.
this should work for you.

Code:

#!/bin/bash



file=user_profiles.txt

echo -n > user_profiles.txt

clear



getvar(){                        # getvar prompt var

  echo $1

  read $2

  clear

}

getvar "Please enter you full name =>" full_name

echo $full_name >> $file

getvar "Please enter you street address =>" address

echo $address >> $file

getvar "Please enter your City =>" city

echo $city >> $file

getvar "Please enter your State (enter entire name no abbreviations) =>" state

echo $state >> $file

getvar "Please enter your zip code =>" zip

echo $zip >> $file



echo $full_name

echo $address

echo $city, $state $zip



echo "Is this correct? (y/N) =>"



read correct

        if [[ "$correct" = "Y" ]] || [[ $correct = "y" ]]; then

                echo "Thank you for your time, Have a nice day."

        else

                echo "removing user_profile.txt..." ; sleep 3s

                exec $0

        fi

Ohhh interesting...thank you very much!
