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
在shell提示符下获取用户输入的最简单和最广泛的方法是read命令。说明其用途的最佳方法是简单的演示:
while true; do
read -p "Do you wish to install this program? " yn
case $yn in
[Yy]* ) make install; break;;
[Nn]* ) exit;;
* ) echo "Please answer yes or no.";;
esac
done
Steven Huwig指出的另一种方法是Bash的select命令。下面是使用select的相同示例:
echo "Do you wish to install this program?"
select yn in "Yes" "No"; do
case $yn in
Yes ) make install; break;;
No ) exit;;
esac
done
使用select,您不需要清理输入–它会显示可用的选项,并键入与您的选择相对应的数字。它也会自动循环,所以如果它们提供了无效的输入,就不需要使用while true循环来重试。
此外,Léa Gris在她的回答中展示了一种使请求语言不可知的方法。调整我的第一个示例以更好地服务于多种语言可能如下所示:
set -- $(locale LC_MESSAGES)
yesexpr="$1"; noexpr="$2"; yesword="$3"; noword="$4"
while true; do
read -p "Install (${yesword} / ${noword})? " yn
if [[ "$yn" =~ $yesexpr ]]; then make install; exit; fi
if [[ "$yn" =~ $noexpr ]]; then exit; fi
echo "Answer ${yesword} / ${noword}."
done
显然,其他通信字符串在这里仍然没有翻译(Install,Answer),这需要在更完整的翻译中解决,但在许多情况下,即使是部分翻译也会很有用。
最后,请查看F.Hauri的优秀答案。

您可以在读取时使用默认REPLY,将其转换为小写,并使用表达式与一组变量进行比较。该脚本还支持ja/si/oui
read -rp "Do you want a demo? [y/n/c] "
[[ ${REPLY,,} =~ ^(c|cancel)$ ]] && { echo "Selected Cancel"; exit 1; }
if [[ ${REPLY,,} =~ ^(y|yes|j|ja|s|si|o|oui)$ ]]; then
echo "Positive"
fi
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:
echo "Please enter some input: "
read input_variable
echo "You entered: $input_variable"
在这种情况下,我已经多次使用case语句,使用case语句是一种很好的方法。可以实现while循环,该循环模拟case块,利用布尔条件,以便更好地控制程序,并满足许多其他要求。在满足所有条件后,可以使用中断,将控制权传递回程序的主要部分。此外,为了满足其他条件,当然可以在控制结构中添加条件语句:case语句和可能的while循环。
使用案例陈述来满足您的请求的示例
#! /bin/sh
# For potential users of BSD, or other systems who do not
# have a bash binary located in /bin the script will be directed to
# a bourne-shell, e.g. /bin/sh
# NOTE: It would seem best for handling user entry errors or
# exceptions, to put the decision required by the input
# of the prompt in a case statement (case control structure),
echo Would you like us to perform the option: "(Y|N)"
read inPut
case $inPut in
# echoing a command encapsulated by
# backticks (``) executes the command
"Y") echo `Do something crazy`
;;
# depending on the scenario, execute the other option
# or leave as default
"N") echo `execute another option`
;;
esac
exit
inquire () {
echo -n "$1 [y/n]? "
