Hi everyone,
I am completely new to this forum and I have some questions regarding a script I am writing. I would be happy if anyone could help me with the small and precise script which should include if, then, else, while until, case and select.
The scenario is as follows:
1) A user starts the program typing the program name and first his/her first name and then the ID number as two parameters of the program.
2) The program welcomes the user somehow mentioning his/her ID number first, then his/her name and then displays the date and the time of the execution.
3) The program displays five codes and names of the five Football teams (one code and name per line) and asks the user to guess which the winner team is. The codes for Iceland, France, Portugal, Wales and Germany are respectively ICL, FRA, POR, WAL and GER respectively.);
4) After the user typed the country code, if the option is correct, the program informs about it and gives one two sentences explaining about some of the descriptions/ characteristics of the chosen team, otherwise the program warns about a mistake, and the user will guess until the correct option is chosen.
5) The program displays seven players of the Football team. The codes for seven players of Euro cup for Courtois, Silva, Messi, Nemar, Kane, Ronaldo, Bale is Co, Si, Me, Ne, Ka, Ro and Ba respectively.
6) Then the program invites to type three codes out of these seven (the codes may be typed in any sequence)
7) The user types these codes separating them by spaces;
8) The program displays a menu with these three codes and asks to choose one of them.
9) The user types the number of a chosen code in the list; the user will be able to type numbers until it is one of these three codes
10) The program displays the code with a comment on the same line and then, starting from the next line, displays a 3-4 lines description of that player. The description is taken from a file which name is the code of the country. If the file with that name is absent or not readable, the program informs the user about that and returns him/her to Step 5.
Note: These three files which names are codes of three countries out of the seven ones displayed in step 3 shall be prepared by the developer in advance and saved in the same directory as the script.
11) The program asks whether the eight previous steps described above, (3) to (10), should be repeated
12) If user says �yes', they are repeated; if the user says �no', the program terminates.
Is that a homework question? Those should be posted in Homework & Coursework Questions filling in the correct form to its entirety according to the forum rules.
If this is not a homework assignment, please explain the company or project you work for and the nature of the problem you are working on.
In either case, please show us what you have tried so far to solve this problem on your own, using (CODE) tags where applicable.

This is what I have done so far. I would like suggestion on using if statement, select and case whereas possible. Thank you all in advance.
Did you read the entire note? Why didn't you answer the homework / courseork question? And, what about the code tags?
