Problem: Ending multiple case statements

Okay i want a case statement within my case statement.

I will show you guys my code if you can help me figure out how to get this to work. thanks!

Kornshell shell script

What i think is happening is i am closing the first CASE out with esac in the 5) choice asi was trying to make another case statement to exit my menu. Or do i need to change my loop or start a new loop im all confused! My errors start on line 104 or whatever right after i use my esac in 5)

EDIT: Took out that esac... now i get unexpected done on line 110 and there are only 109 lines in this thing now what do i do lol?

thanks for your help

That means that your script wasn't done before it reached the end of the file. Having never written a ksh script, I can't say what exactly you did wrong. I've only written sh/csh scripts, and the syntax seems a bit too different.

Okay i am past that... I will update my problem when i get home. Does anybody know how to close an embedded case statement so the main case is used in the loop. I can make it but everything past option 3 will not work (option 3 has my embedded case).

Code:
this is in code tags, so it's easier to read code
this is in bold tags to get your attention
this is in italics for no apparent reason

(And that was in a URL tag)

Okay, when i enter into the menu, options 1, 2, 3 are available, and 4 and 5 are not. When i comment option 3 out 4 and 5 become available once again. I am not sure on how to close my embedded case statement. I think that is where my problem is.

I don't think you have an esac to close the nested case (in reference to the $ANS one with the options y and n).
