You either want a select menu or read: An Introduction to Programmable Completion

As in:
Code:
select ITEM in $(ls);do
    echo "do your stuff"
    break
done

Hope this helps

I wanted to implement this as well for some of my scripts, but me didnt feel confident enough to try.
Now i tried, and YEAH !!! *dance*

This is what i've achieved in about an hour from knowing nothing about it.
Its dirty, its bugy, but when it agrees to work, heck - i love that it lists my prj dir Smilie
Code:
# bash completition for dev-scripts
# 2014.11.16 by sea
#
#	Dynamic attempt
#
	_ds_base_dir()
	{
		# NOT USED YET
		echo /usr/share/dev-scripts/menu
	}
	_ds_list_prjs()
	{
	    COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -W "$(cd $HOME/.config/dev-scripts/prjs;ls)" -- "$2" ) )
	    return 0
	}
#
#	Fixed lists
#
	_ds_mod_git()
	{
		COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -W "add commit edit status upl" -- "$2" ) )
	}
	_ds_mod_ks()
	{
		COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -W "add edit make" -- "$2" ) )
	}
	_ds_mod_rpm()
	{
		COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -W "add changelog edit list make" -- "$2" ) )
	}
	_ds_mod_prj()
	{

	}
	_ds_mod_ssh()

	}
	_ds_mod_new()
	{

	}
	_ds_mod_menu()
	{
		COMPREPLY=( $( compgen -W "new prj ssh add make review setup" -- "$2" ) )
	}
	_dev_scripts()
	{
		COMPREPLY=()
		case $3 in
		add|make|list|edit|review)
			complete -F _ds_list_prjs -o filenames ds	;;
		setup)	return 0						;;
		new)	complete -F _ds_mod_new -o filenames ds			;;

		esac
	}
	complete -F _dev_scripts -W 'add make review setup new prj ssh' ds

@ thailand: Hope this helps

@ others:
One question remains, anyone knows how i can 'fix' the read/shown values?
I assume i need to implement another 'layer' of case statement within functions?

Thank you in advance

tcl_allowexceptions

Tcl_AllowExceptions(3tcl)				      Tcl Library Procedures					 Tcl_AllowExceptions(3tcl)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       Tcl_AllowExceptions - allow all exceptions in next script evaluation

SYNOPSIS

       #include <tcl.h>

       Tcl_AllowExceptions(interp)

ARGUMENTS

       Tcl_Interp *interp (in)		Interpreter in which script will be evaluated.
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       If  a  script is evaluated at top-level (i.e. no other scripts are pending evaluation when the script is invoked), and if the script termi-
       nates with a completion code other than TCL_OK, TCL_ERROR or TCL_RETURN, then Tcl normally converts this into a TCL_ERROR  return  with	an
       appropriate  message.  The particular script evaluation procedures of Tcl that act in the manner are Tcl_EvalObjEx, Tcl_EvalObjv, Tcl_Eval,
       Tcl_EvalEx, Tcl_GlobalEval, Tcl_GlobalEvalObj, Tcl_VarEval and Tcl_VarEvalVA.

       However, if Tcl_AllowExceptions is invoked immediately before calling one of those a procedures, then arbitrary completion codes  are  per-
       mitted from the script, and they are returned without modification.  This is useful in cases where the caller can deal with exceptions such
       as TCL_BREAK or TCL_CONTINUE in a meaningful way.

KEYWORDS

       continue, break, exception, interpreter
