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

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:

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。

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"

检查此项

read -p "Continue? (y/n): " confirm && [[ $confirm == [yY] || $confirm == [yY][eE][sS] ]] || exit 1
echo "Please enter some input: "
read input_variable
echo "You entered: $input_variable"

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)。
