Hi Z-men
I have script which lists a series of files I might wish to edit
manuals/client-man-admin.tex
manuals/client-man-catalogbasket.tex
manuals/client-man-userguide.tex
quotes/client-admin.tex
quotes/client.tex
I'd like the script to dynamically output a case such
vared -p " Type number to edit or q" -c action
case $action in
1) gvim manuals/clientman-admin.tex ;;
2) gvim manuals/clientman-catalogbasket.tex ;;
etc
q) exit 0;;
*) ;; # everything else including return: do nothing
esac
but how to do?
Alternative solutions welcome

Use an array/list and select the nth element from it,

I suggest the "select" loop. For example:
select f in **/*.tex; do
if [[ "$REPLY" = q ]]; then
break
elif [[ -n "$f" ]]; then
gvim $f
fi
done
Note that this block will loop until you exit with ^C or q.
