针对其他人：

您不需要在BASH4中指定大小写，只需使用'，，'使var小写即可。此外，我强烈不喜欢将代码放在读取块内，获取结果并在读取块IMO外处理它。还包括一个“q”表示退出IMO。最后，为什么键入“yes”只需使用-n1并按y。

示例：用户可以按y/n和q退出。

ans=''
while true; do
    read -p "So is MikeQ the greatest or what (y/n/q) ?" -n1 ans
    case ${ans,,} in
        y|n|q) break;;
        *) echo "Answer y for yes / n for no  or q for quit.";;
    esac
done

echo -e "\nAnswer = $ans"

if [[ "${ans,,}" == "q" ]] ; then
        echo "OK Quitting, we will assume that he is"
        exit 0
fi

if [[ "${ans,,}" == "y" ]] ; then
        echo "MikeQ is the greatest!!"
else
        echo "No? MikeQ is not the greatest?"
fi

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

您可以使用内置的read命令；使用-p选项向用户提示问题。

从BASH4开始，您现在可以使用-i建议答案：

read -e -p "Enter the path to the file: " -i "/usr/local/etc/" FILEPATH
echo $FILEPATH

（但请记住使用“readline”选项-e以允许使用箭头键进行行编辑）

如果你想要一个“是/否”的逻辑，你可以这样做：

read -e -p "
List the content of your home dir ? [Y/n] " YN

[[ $YN == "y" || $YN == "Y" || $YN == "" ]] && ls -la ~/

这是我整理的东西：

#!/bin/sh

promptyn () {
    while true; do
        read -p "$1 " yn
        case $yn in
            [Yy]* ) return 0;;
            [Nn]* ) return 1;;
            * ) echo "Please answer yes or no.";;
        esac
    done
}

if promptyn "is the sky blue?"; then
    echo "yes"
else
    echo "no"
fi

我是一个初学者，所以要谨慎对待，但它似乎奏效了。
