Hello,
If you want to create an automate, you can follow this example:
Code:
$ mkfifo exchange

Code:
$ cat menu.sh
#!/bin/bash
 
while true
do
        echo "Valeur:"
        read f
        if [ "${f}" -eq "12" ]
        then
                echo "Bingo"
                sleep 2
                exit
        fi
done

Code:
$ cat menu2.sh
#!/bin/bash
 
for i in {1..15}
do
        read f
        if [ "$f" = "Valeur:" ]
        then
                echo "$f $i" >&2
                echo $i
        fi
        if [ "$f" = "Bingo" ]
        then
                echo "$f" >&2
                exit
        fi
done

I have redirect echo to error (>&2) otherwise we don't see nothing.
Code:
$ ./menu.sh <exchange | ./menu2.sh >exchange
Valeur: 1
Valeur: 2
Valeur: 3
Valeur: 4
Valeur: 5
Valeur: 6
Valeur: 7
Valeur: 8
Valeur: 9
Valeur: 10
Valeur: 11
Valeur: 12
Bingo

But, this code work if in menu.sh, you don't use the -p option of the read commande.

Best regards.

set_menu_opts

menu_opts(3X)															     menu_opts(3X)

NAME

       menu_opts - set and get menu options

SYNOPSIS

       #include <menu.h>
       int set_menu_opts(MENU *menu, Menu_Options opts);
       int menu_opts_on(MENU *menu, Menu_Options opts);
       int menu_opts_off(MENU *menu, Menu_Options opts);
       Menu_Options menu_opts(const MENU *menu);

DESCRIPTION

       The function set_menu_opts sets all the given menu's option bits (menu option bits may be logically-OR'ed together).

       The function menu_opts_on turns on the given option bits, and leaves others alone.

       The function menu_opts_off turns off the given option bits, and leaves others alone.

       The function menu_opts returns the menu's current option bits.

       The following options are defined (all are on by default):

       O_ONEVALUE
	    Only one item can be selected for this menu.

       O_SHOWDESC
	    Display the item descriptions when the menu is posted.

       O_ROWMAJOR
	    Display the menu in row-major order.

       O_IGNORECASE
	    Ignore the case when pattern-matching.

       O_SHOWMATCH
	    Move the cursor to within the item name while pattern-matching.

       O_NONCYCLIC
	    Don't wrap around next-item and previous-item, requests to the other end of the menu.

RETURN VALUE

       Except for menu_opts, each routine returns one of the following:

       E_OK The routine succeeded.

       E_SYSTEM_ERROR
	    System error occurred (see errno).

       E_POSTED
	    The menu is already posted.

SEE ALSO

       curses(3X), menu(3X).

NOTES

       The header file <menu.h> automatically includes the header file <curses.h>.

PORTABILITY

       These routines emulate the System V menu library.  They were not supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
