Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to automatically create variables from user input in ksh? Post 302563438 by CarloM on Tuesday 11th of October 2011 08:17:12 AM

If all you're doing is calculating the average then you don't need each input once it has been processed - just the running total and the number of inputs.

A quick (untested!) example:
Code:
Total=0
Inputs=0
while true
do
   echo -n "Number or q :"
   read UserDecision
   case $UserDecision in
      [0-9]*) Total=`expr $Total + $UserDecision`; : $((Inputs++));;
      *) break;;
   esac
done

Average=`expr $Total / $Inputs`
echo $Inputs $Average
