function questions (bash)
I have this project which I've been working on essentially nonstop for the past three days and due to work I am running low on time. I'm new to Linux/Unix and my Teacher has assigned us a scripting project, due for Monday. I have All the functions for the project in a separate file which run as a daemon process when I log in. It has no syntax errors but my Script can not run the functions (I'm not sure where they go before or after the body) and I have one function I'd like you guys to take a look at. It has a Second menu leading to a case statement but it does not run after the Search. I'm Kinda tired of looking at the CLI but I have to finish this. Thanks.

Sorry the second post was the same function for whatever reason here is the actual new function:
phoneEdi()
{
directory=~/phonepro/directory
clear
tput cup 4 4; echo "Record Editor"
tput cup 5 4; echo "============="
tput cup 7 4; echo "Which record?"
tput cup 8 4; echo "Search: "
tput cup 8 12; read number || continue
grep $number $directory | tr ':' ' '
grep $number $directory > temp
A=`cut -f1 -d $temp`
B=`cut -f2 -d $temp`
C=`cut -f3 -d $temp`
D=`cut -f4 -d $temp`
E=`cut -f5 -d $temp`
F=`cut -f6 -d $temp`
G=`cut -f7 -d $temp`
loop=y
while test $loop = y
do
clear
tput cup 3 12; echo "Record Editor"
tput cup 4 12; echo "============="
tput cup 6 9; echo "F - First Name"
tput cup 7 9; echo "L - Surname"
