When I try your method I get the following errors
Code:
./test.sh: read: illegal option: -d
read: usage: read [-r] [-p prompt] [-a array] [-e] [name ...]
./test.sh: printf: illegal option: -v
printf: usage: printf format [arguments]
You have pressed ???

When I try your method I get the following errors
Code:
unknown mode: cbreak
^[[B
unknown mode: -cbreak

It appears that I don't have the read -d, printf -v and cbreak functions.

Do you know of any other ways to do this?
