Please ignore if terminology used is incorrect as I am new to Unix.
I want to create a Multi user input form which looks something like this:
ABCD TOOL
Logged User: abcd12 Current Directory: /dir1/dir2
Input1: ___________ Input2 : ________________
Input3: ___________
Confirm : Yes/No
I have divided the above form in 3 components:
1. Header: which will display needed information
2. Input: The input given by the user
3. Confirm : this will be a dropdown and will display Yes/No to allow the user to select one.
User should be able to go back/forward (to modify it) from one field to another.
When users selects Yes on confirm, I want to read all the input values.
I searched for some helpful commands and find a few like:
read;
dialog --form;
Now the problem is <read> will pause the execution until the first input is provided which I don't want.
<dialog> I cannot execute this command on my unix server as it says : dialog: command not found.
P.S.
I am trying to execute on a remote server. The Unix kernel has following version details:
SunOS 5.8
When the user would run the above command, the form data provided will follow in the same window(same session):
ABCD TOOL
Logged User: abcd12 Current Directory: /dir1/dir2
Input1: ___________ Input2 : ________________
Input3: ___________
Confirm : Yes/No
Displaying the Header part is not a issue.
But I have no clue how to display the Input fields all at the same time and let the user enter the input one by one. Also he should be able to move from one field to other to modify it.
