read -e -p "Enter your choice: " choice

-e选项允许用户使用箭头键编辑输入。

如果要使用建议作为输入：

read -e -i "yes" -p "Enter your choice: " choice

-i选项打印提示性输入。

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
}

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

用最少的行数实现这一点的最简单方法如下：

read -p "<Your Friendly Message here> : y/n/cancel" CONDITION;

if [ "$CONDITION" == "y" ]; then
   # do something here!
fi

if只是一个例子：如何处理这个变量取决于您。

inquire ()  {
  echo  -n "$1 [y/n]? "
  read answer
  finish="-1"
  while [ "$finish" = '-1' ]
  do
    finish="1"
    if [ "$answer" = '' ];
    then
      answer=""
    else
      case $answer in
        y | Y | yes | YES ) answer="y";;
        n | N | no | NO ) answer="n";;
        *) finish="-1";
           echo -n 'Invalid response -- please reenter:';
           read answer;;
       esac
    fi
  done
}

... other stuff

inquire "Install now?"

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
