Dynamic Menu Help
I'm working on a menu to read folders in as menu selections then CD to the selected folder and display the contained files as menu selections for execution.
I'm using the following to read in the file list but I get lost after that.
I only read in files that begin with CAPs. The problem is when I quit from the file menu it doesn't re-display the top level folder menu and reset PS3.
Thanks!
#!/bin/ksh
#
PS3="Select System Type>"
select FILE in [A-Z]* QUIT
do
if [ -e $FILE ] ; then
cd $FILE
PS3="Select Test to Run>"
select TEST in [A-Z]* QUIT
do
if [ -e $TEST ] ; then
./$TEST
else
break
fi
done
else
break
fi
done

that is, more than one item may simultaneously be selected.
In a multi_valued menu, you can used set_item_value to select the given menu item (second argument TRUE) or deselect it (second argument
FALSE).
