Hello all,,, I am trying to finish my assignment for my CNET class. I am running into 2 problems... First the "Delete a file" (Option 1) When I run this option everything goes as planned except I am having problems with the confirmation. It comes up, ask for confirmtion, Y or N works great problem is it is persistant to loop the confirmatioin.
Second problem is with Option 8,,, Backing up a directory.
Again everything is going great with one small exception. If the Backup Directory does not exist already the script will make it, but after making the script it will not find the existing directory to backup until AFTER a return to the main menu and selecting the opiton again???
