Explanation / Answer

we will add statements to the above script:

#!/bin/bash

PS3='Please enter your choice:'

options=("Option 1 - File Directory?" "Option 2 - Run MyScript?" "Option 3 - Find

testfile2.txt?" "Quit")

select opt in "${options[@]}"

do

case $opt in

"Option 1 - File Directory?")

echo "File Directory Listing"

ls -1

;;

"Option 2 - Run MyScript?")

echo "myscript File Is Being Executed"

sh ./myscript

;;

"Option 3 - Find testfile2.txt?")

echo "testfile2.txt File Is Being Executed"

find .-name 'testfile2.txt'

;;

"Quit")

echo ~username

eval echo ~$username->

we can use one of these two to display the home directory for a given user.we can write th username here and get to display the home directory.

break

*) echo invalid option;;

esac
