我想暂停shell脚本中的输入，并提示用户进行选择。标准的是、否或取消类型问题。如何在典型的bash提示符中完成此操作？
当前回答
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）。
其他回答
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"
要获得像inputbox这样的漂亮ncurses，请使用如下命令对话框：
#!/bin/bash
if (dialog --title "Message" --yesno "Want to do something risky?" 6 25)
# message box will have the size 25x6 characters
then
echo "Let's do something risky"
# do something risky
else
echo "Let's stay boring"
fi
默认情况下，对话框包至少在SUSE Linux上安装。看起来像：
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）。
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
检查此项
read -p "Continue? (y/n): " confirm && [[ $confirm == [yY] || $confirm == [yY][eE][sS] ]] || exit 1
