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

使用read命令:

echo Would you like to install? "(Y or N)"

read x

# now check if $x is "y"
if [ "$x" = "y" ]; then
    # do something here!
fi

然后你需要的所有其他东西

您需要:

Bash内置命令(即便携式)检查TTY默认答案超时彩色问题

一小条

do_xxxx=y                      # In batch mode => Default is Yes
[[ -t 0 ]] &&                  # If TTY => Prompt the question
read -n 1 -p $'\e[1;32m
Do xxxx? (Y/n)\e[0m ' do_xxxx  # Store the answer in $do_xxxx
if [[ $do_xxxx =~ ^(y|Y|)$ ]]  # Do if 'y' or 'Y' or empty
then
    xxxx
fi

解释

[[-t 0]]&&read…=>如果TTY,调用命令读取read-n 1=>等待一个字符$'\e[1;32m…\e[0m'=>绿色打印(绿色很好,因为在白色/黑色背景上都可以阅读)[[$do_xxxx=~^(y|y|)$]]=>bash正则表达式

超时=>默认答案为否

do_xxxx=y
[[ -t 0 ]] && {                   # Timeout 5 seconds (read -t 5)
read -t 5 -n 1 -p $'\e[1;32m
Do xxxx? (Y/n)\e[0m ' do_xxxx ||  # read 'fails' on timeout
do_xxxx=n ; }                     # Timeout => answer No
if [[ $do_xxxx =~ ^(y|Y|)$ ]]
then
    xxxx
fi
echo "Please enter some input: "
read input_variable
echo "You entered: $input_variable"

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:

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?"

...

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。
