Several years ago I did a test: perl versus bash cgi scripts. perl was
about 5,000 times faster than bash.
Learning Perl isn't that hard - get "Teach Yourself Perl 5 in 21 Days"
and you'll be ok.

Now, my follow-up question is, how can I integrate this shell script
into an html file as I hope to be able to use it in a web page?
This is *not* a good idea. Creating dynamic web pages with shell can be done,
but it's not one of the things that shell is designed for/good at. One way is
briefly described at http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/ssi.html . You
will have an easier time of it if you use something that's designed for
creating dynamic web pages, like mod_python or CGI-Perl or Ruby on Rails or
PHP.
#!/bin/bash - This shell script that I have named "qsearch" now works.
while (:) do
echo -e "Press S to search >>> \c"; ans=`readin`; echo; case $ans in
[sS]) echo -e "Find what word? \c";read name1
echo -e "and what second word? \c";read name2
fgrep -y "$name1" q-hid | fgrep -y "$name2" > tempz
cls; echo -e "\nSearch word(s): $name1 $name2";
echo "Here are the first 10 results found:"; echo
head -10 tempz; echo;;
[qQ]) cls; echo; exit;;
*) cls; echo "Not a valid option."; echo;; esac done
esac
done
How is this working? If I paste the above into temp.sh and execute it, it
says "/bin/bash: - : invalid option". If I fix the interpreter line so it
says "#!/bin/bash" , it complains that readin and cls are not valid bash
commands. If I replace "ans=`readin`" with "read ans" and "cls" with "clear",
it fails with a syntax error because "esac done" is in there twice.
