I am slowly discovering the powerful Bash. Here's something you'll need eventually when working with Bash scripts and user input.
How do you prompt the user to enter something in a Bash script?
echo "What's your name?"
read name
Code language: PHP (php)
Of course you can print it later with:
echo $name
Code language: PHP (php)
How do you set a default value?
echo "What's your name? (default: Ricard)"
read name
name="${name:=Ricard}"
Code language: PHP (php)
This syntax checks if name
is empty. If so, it will set it to Ricard
worked a treat , thanks ๐
