Loading options using the commands directory

Menu options are created by scanning the commands directory and building the menu based on the names of the directories and shell scripts.

Directory Structure:

shell-menu (parent dir)
--- commands (dir)
------ memory (dir)
--------- clear_ram_memory.sh
--------- show_current_memory.sh

Guide:

• Directories in the commands folder will get processed as sub menus which will be displayed with "..." after the option.

• Underscores will get converted to spaces.

• Words will get converted to upper case first.

Example: memory (dir) converts to Option (1): Memory...

Example: clear_ram_memory.sh converts to Option (1): Clear Ram Memory
