But now i also need to get it to update another 3 data/password files that also include the usernames and passwords.
That's nice.
But i cannot work out how to do it, ive tried to call an external script, implement part of a script into my current and nothing seems to be working.

You haven't told us what you need to do. You haven't shown us what you've tried. You haven't told us why it didn't work.

Don't show us your entire program, show us what you're trying to do that is not working. Subroutines are Good Things.

I don't mean to sound harsh, but useless comments make my eyes glaze over...
