hello everybody,
as many, I have a problem with a script...
I wrote a shell script in which I want to read a variable value. the problem is that I can't use the arrow keys.
Here is the script I use :
the problem is that if the user ( or me..) wants to correct what he wrote, he can't use the arrow keys ( i had the same problem with backspace but i fixed it with stty erase ^H).
Instead it print "value^[[D" (the ^[[D is when i use left arrow key)
I don't know if I have been clear enough, but if someone understand my problem...
Thanks

script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.
