作为单行命令的朋友，我使用了以下命令：

while [ -z $prompt ]; do read -p "Continue (y/n)?" choice;case "$choice" in y|Y ) prompt=true; break;; n|N ) exit 0;; esac; done; prompt=;

以长格式编写，其工作原理如下：

while [ -z $prompt ];
  do read -p "Continue (y/n)?" choice;
  case "$choice" in
    y|Y ) prompt=true; break;;
    n|N ) exit 0;;
  esac;
done;
prompt=;

是/否/取消

作用

#!/usr/bin/env bash
@confirm() {
  local message="$*"
  local result=''

  echo -n "> $message (Yes/No/Cancel) " >&2

  while [ -z "$result" ] ; do
    read -s -n 1 choice
    case "$choice" in
      y|Y ) result='Y' ;;
      n|N ) result='N' ;;
      c|C ) result='C' ;;
    esac
  done

  echo $result
}

用法

case $(@confirm 'Confirm?') in
  Y ) echo "Yes" ;;
  N ) echo "No" ;;
  C ) echo "Cancel" ;;
esac

使用干净的用户输入进行确认

作用

#!/usr/bin/env bash
@confirm() {
  local message="$*"
  local result=3

  echo -n "> $message (y/n) " >&2

  while [[ $result -gt 1 ]] ; do
    read -s -n 1 choice
    case "$choice" in
      y|Y ) result=0 ;;
      n|N ) result=1 ;;
    esac
  done

  return $result
}

用法

if @confirm 'Confirm?' ; then
  echo "Yes"
else
  echo "No"
fi

可以在POSIX shell中处理区域设置感知的“是/否选项”；通过使用LC_MESSAGES语言环境类别的条目，witch提供了与输入匹配的现成RegEx模式，以及本地化Yes No的字符串。

#!/usr/bin/env sh

# Getting LC_MESSAGES values into variables
# shellcheck disable=SC2046 # Intended IFS splitting
IFS='
' set -- $(locale LC_MESSAGES)

yesexpr="$1"
noexpr="$2"
yesstr="$3"
nostr="$4"
messages_codeset="$5" # unused here, but kept as documentation

# Display Yes / No ? prompt into locale
echo "$yesstr / $nostr ?"

# Read answer
read -r yn

# Test answer
case "$yn" in
# match only work with the character class from the expression
  ${yesexpr##^}) echo "answer $yesstr" ;;
  ${noexpr##^}) echo "answer $nostr" ;;
esac

编辑：正如@Urhixidur在评论中提到的：

不幸的是，POSIX只指定了前两个（yeexpr和noexpr）。在Ubuntu 16上，yestr和nostr为空。

参见：https://www.ee.ryerson.ca/~courses/ele709/susv4/xrat/V_4_xbd_chap07.html#tag_21_07_03_06

LC_消息yestr和nostr语言环境关键字以及yesstr和nostr语言信息项以前用于匹配用户的肯定和否定响应。在POSIX.1-2008中，yeexpr、noexpr、yesexpr和noexpr扩展正则表达式已取代它们。应用程序应该使用通用的基于语言环境的消息传递工具来发出包含所需响应示例的提示消息。

或者使用Bash方式的区域设置：

#!/usr/bin/env bash

IFS=$'\n' read -r -d '' yesexpr noexpr _ < <(locale LC_MESSAGES)

printf -v yes_or_no_regex "(%s)|(%s)" "$yesexpr" "$noexpr"

printf -v prompt $"Please answer Yes (%s) or No (%s): " "$yesexpr" "$noexpr"

declare -- answer=;

until [[ "$answer" =~ $yes_or_no_regex ]]; do
  read -rp "$prompt" answer
done

if [[ -n "${BASH_REMATCH[1]}" ]]; then
  echo $"You answered: Yes"
else
  echo $"No, was your answer."
fi

使用语言环境提供的regexp来匹配答案。

要翻译剩余的消息，请使用bash--dump po string scriptname输出po字符串以进行本地化：

#: scriptname:8
msgid "Please answer Yes (%s) or No (%s): "
msgstr ""
#: scriptname:17
msgid "You answered: Yes"
msgstr ""
#: scriptname:19
msgid "No, was your answer."
msgstr ""

仅单个按键

这里有一个更长但可重复使用的模块化方法：

返回0=yes和1=no无需按enter键-仅需一个字符可以按enter键接受默认选择可以禁用默认选项以强制选择适用于zsh和bash。

按enter键时默认为“否”

请注意，N是大写的。此处按enter键，接受默认值：

$ confirm "Show dangerous command" && echo "rm *"
Show dangerous command [y/N]?

还要注意，[y/N]？已自动追加。默认的“no”被接受，因此不会有任何回音。

重新提示，直到给出有效响应：

$ confirm "Show dangerous command" && echo "rm *"
Show dangerous command [y/N]? X
Show dangerous command [y/N]? y
rm *

按回车键时默认为“是”

请注意，Y是大写的：

$ confirm_yes "Show dangerous command" && echo "rm *"
Show dangerous command [Y/n]?
rm *

上面，我刚刚按了回车键，所以命令运行了。

输入时无默认值-需要y或n

$ get_yes_keypress "Here you cannot press enter. Do you like this [y/n]? "
Here you cannot press enter. Do you like this [y/n]? k
Here you cannot press enter. Do you like this [y/n]?
Here you cannot press enter. Do you like this [y/n]? n
$ echo $?
1

这里，返回了1或false。请注意，使用此较低级别的函数，您需要提供自己的[y/n]？促使

Code

# Read a single char from /dev/tty, prompting with "$*"
# Note: pressing enter will return a null string. Perhaps a version terminated with X and then remove it in caller?
# See https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/367880/143394 for dealing with multi-byte, etc.
function get_keypress {
  local REPLY IFS=
  >/dev/tty printf '%s' "$*"
  [[ $ZSH_VERSION ]] && read -rk1  # Use -u0 to read from STDIN
  # See https://unix.stackexchange.com/q/383197/143394 regarding '\n' -> ''
  [[ $BASH_VERSION ]] && </dev/tty read -rn1
  printf '%s' "$REPLY"
}

# Get a y/n from the user, return yes=0, no=1 enter=$2
# Prompt using $1.
# If set, return $2 on pressing enter, useful for cancel or defualting
function get_yes_keypress {
  local prompt="${1:-Are you sure [y/n]? }"
  local enter_return=$2
  local REPLY
  # [[ ! $prompt ]] && prompt="[y/n]? "
  while REPLY=$(get_keypress "$prompt"); do
    [[ $REPLY ]] && printf '\n' # $REPLY blank if user presses enter
    case "$REPLY" in
      Y|y)  return 0;;
      N|n)  return 1;;
      '')   [[ $enter_return ]] && return "$enter_return"
    esac
  done
}

# Credit: http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/14444/143394
# Prompt to confirm, defaulting to NO on <enter>
# Usage: confirm "Dangerous. Are you sure?" && rm *
function confirm {
  local prompt="${*:-Are you sure} [y/N]? "
  get_yes_keypress "$prompt" 1
}    

# Prompt to confirm, defaulting to YES on <enter>
function confirm_yes {
  local prompt="${*:-Are you sure} [Y/n]? "
  get_yes_keypress "$prompt" 0
}

我注意到，对于这样简单的用户输入，没有人发布显示多行回声菜单的答案，所以我的做法如下：

#!/bin/bash

function ask_user() {    

echo -e "
#~~~~~~~~~~~~#
| 1.) Yes    |
| 2.) No     |
| 3.) Quit   |
#~~~~~~~~~~~~#\n"

read -e -p "Select 1: " choice

if [ "$choice" == "1" ]; then

    do_something

elif [ "$choice" == "2" ]; then

    do_something_else

elif [ "$choice" == "3" ]; then

    clear && exit 0

else

    echo "Please select 1, 2, or 3." && sleep 3
    clear && ask_user

fi
}

ask_user

发布这种方法是希望有人发现它有用且省时。

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