something like:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
read -p "Do you want to proceed [YES/NO] : " K
case $K in
    yes|YES)  echo "you answered YES"; exit 0 ;;
    no|NO)  echo "you answered NO"; exit 1 ;;
    *)  echo "You must answer YES or NO"; exit 2 ;;
esac

The script can be called like:
Code:
if script
then
   do something
fi
