检查此项

read -p "Continue? (y/n): " confirm && [[ $confirm == [yY] || $confirm == [yY][eE][sS] ]] || exit 1

echo "Please enter some input: "
read input_variable
echo "You entered: $input_variable"

更通用的是：

function menu(){
    title="Question time"
    prompt="Select:"
    options=("Yes" "No" "Maybe")
    echo "$title"
    PS3="$prompt"
    select opt in "${options[@]}" "Quit/Cancel"; do
        case "$REPLY" in
            1 ) echo "You picked $opt which is option $REPLY";;
            2 ) echo "You picked $opt which is option $REPLY";;
            3 ) echo "You picked $opt which is option $REPLY";;
            $(( ${#options[@]}+1 )) ) clear; echo "Goodbye!"; exit;;
            *) echo "Invalid option. Try another one.";continue;;
         esac
     done
     return
}

这是我在脚本/函数中通常需要的：

如果按ENTER键，默认答案为“是”也接受z（如果你在QWERTZ布局上搞混了）接受其他语言（“ja”、“Oui”、…）如果您在函数内部，请处理正确的出口

while true; do
    read -p "Continue [Y/n]? " -n 1 -r -e yn
    case "${yn:-Y}" in
        [YyZzOoJj]* ) echo; break ;;
        [Nn]* ) [[ "$0" = "$BASH_SOURCE" ]] && exit 1 || return 1 ;; # handle exits from shell or function but don't exit interactive shell
        * ) echo "Please answer yes or no.";;
    esac
done
echo "and off we go!"

在这种情况下，我已经多次使用case语句，使用case语句是一种很好的方法。可以实现while循环，该循环模拟case块，利用布尔条件，以便更好地控制程序，并满足许多其他要求。在满足所有条件后，可以使用中断，将控制权传递回程序的主要部分。此外，为了满足其他条件，当然可以在控制结构中添加条件语句：case语句和可能的while循环。

使用案例陈述来满足您的请求的示例

#! /bin/sh 

# For potential users of BSD, or other systems who do not
# have a bash binary located in /bin the script will be directed to
# a bourne-shell, e.g. /bin/sh

# NOTE: It would seem best for handling user entry errors or
# exceptions, to put the decision required by the input 
# of the prompt in a case statement (case control structure), 

echo Would you like us to perform the option: "(Y|N)"

read inPut

case $inPut in
    # echoing a command encapsulated by 
    # backticks (``) executes the command
    "Y") echo `Do something crazy`
    ;;
    # depending on the scenario, execute the other option
    # or leave as default
    "N") echo `execute another option`
    ;;
esac

exit

多选版本：

ask () {                        # $1=question $2=options
    # set REPLY
    # options: x=..|y=..
    while $(true); do
        printf '%s [%s] ' "$1" "$2"
        stty cbreak
        REPLY=$(dd if=/dev/tty bs=1 count=1 2> /dev/null)
        stty -cbreak
        test "$REPLY" != "$(printf '\n')" && printf '\n'
        (
            IFS='|'
            for o in $2; do
                if [ "$REPLY" = "${o%%=*}" ]; then
                    printf '\n'
                    break
                fi
            done
        ) | grep ^ > /dev/null && return
    done
}

例子：

$ ask 'continue?' 'y=yes|n=no|m=maybe'
continue? [y=yes|n=no|m=maybe] g
continue? [y=yes|n=no|m=maybe] k
continue? [y=yes|n=no|m=maybe] y
$

它会将REPLY设置为y（在脚本中）。
