这是我在脚本/函数中通常需要的：

如果按ENTER键，默认答案为“是”也接受z（如果你在QWERTZ布局上搞混了）接受其他语言（“ja”、“Oui”、…）如果您在函数内部，请处理正确的出口

while true; do
    read -p "Continue [Y/n]? " -n 1 -r -e yn
    case "${yn:-Y}" in
        [YyZzOoJj]* ) echo; break ;;
        [Nn]* ) [[ "$0" = "$BASH_SOURCE" ]] && exit 1 || return 1 ;; # handle exits from shell or function but don't exit interactive shell
        * ) echo "Please answer yes or no.";;
    esac
done
echo "and off we go!"

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

在我的情况下，我需要从下载的脚本中读取。，

curl -Ss https://example.com/installer.sh | sh

在这种情况下，read-ryn＜/dev/tty行允许它读取输入。

printf "These files will be uploaded. Is this ok? (y/N) "
read -r yn </dev/tty

if [ "$yn" = "y" ]; then
   
   # Yes
else
   
   # No
fi

Bash为此选择了。以下是如何在脚本中使用它：

select result in Yes No Cancel
do
    echo $result
done

这是它使用的样子：

$ bash examplescript.sh
1) Yes
2) No
3) Cancel
#? 1
Yes
#? 2
No
#? 3
Cancel
#?

您可以编写一个函数来测试：

confirm() {
  local ans IFS=;
  while read -rp "$1" -n1 ans;
  do printf '\n';
    case $ans in [Yy]) return 0;;
      [Nn]) return 1;;
    esac;
  done;
}; ## Usage: if confirm "Are you sure? "; then ...

if confirm "Does everything look ok...reboot now? [Y/n]"; then
  echo "rebooting..."
  sleep 5
  reboot
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 ""
