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

我为回答是/否问题编写了一个小脚本：https://github.com/optimistiCli/getans

例子：

#!/bin/bash

if ! getans.sh 'Shall we proceed?' y ; then
    echo "User said “NO”"
    exit 1
fi

echo "User said “YES”"
# do something usefull
exit 0

使用read命令：

echo Would you like to install? "(Y or N)"

read x

# now check if $x is "y"
if [ "$x" = "y" ]; then
    # do something here!
fi

然后你需要的所有其他东西

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 ~/

受到@Mark和@Myrdin的回答的启发，我创建了一个通用提示的函数

uniprompt(){
    while true; do
        echo -e "$1\c"
        read opt
        array=($2)
        case "${array[@]}" in  *"$opt"*) eval "$3=$opt";return 0;; esac
        echo -e "$opt is not a correct value\n"
    done
}

这样使用：

unipromtp "Select an option: (a)-Do one (x)->Do two (f)->Do three : " "a x f" selection
echo "$selection"

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）。
