绝对最简单的解决方案是这一行，没有巧妙的技巧：

read -p "press enter ..." y

它让人想起了经典的DOS点击任意键继续，除了它等待Enter键，而不仅仅是任何键。

的确，这并没有为您提供“是”“否”“取消”的三个选项，但在您接受control-C作为“否”的情况下，这很有用。在简单脚本中取消，例如：

#!/bin/sh
echo Backup this project
read -p "press enter ..." y
rsync -tavz . /media/hard_to_remember_path/backup/projects/yourproject/

因为您不需要记住难看的命令和路径，但也不需要记住运行速度过快的脚本，而不需要在您决定它不是您想要运行的脚本之前停止。

检查此项

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

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。

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
}

read -p "Are you alright? (y/n) " RESP
if [ "$RESP" = "y" ]; then
  echo "Glad to hear it"
else
  echo "You need more bash programming"
fi

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
