while read line; do
if [ $cont -eq 5 ]; then
read -p "Press Enter to continue..."

I was wondering if there is any other way to pause the loop to wait for a key to continue..
I have tried putting the 'read -p "text"' in a function and calling it inside the while loop, also doing 'dd count=1 1>/dev/null 2>&1'... But I've had no luck..

Hi.
I have a copy-file script (and a move-file script) that I recently tried to make interactive. I tested the former on three files from a text list, and watched to see what would happen. As the cp command was in a while/do/done loop, there was no pause for input: it wrote the file from the... (2 Replies)
Hi,
I have a string like this,
char str ="This, a sample string.\\nThis is the second line, \\n \\n, we will have one blank line";

I tried "\n", "\\n", either not working.

BASHBUG(1) bashbug BASHBUG(1)NAME
bashbug - report a bug in bash
SYNOPSIS
bashbug [--help] [--version] [bug-report-email-addresses]
DESCRIPTION
bashbug is a utility for reporting bugs in Bash to the maintainers.
bashbug will start up your preferred editor with a preformatted bug report template for you to fill in. Save the file and quit the editor
once you have completed the missing fields. bashbug will notify you of any problems with the report and ask for confirmation before
sending it. By default the bug report is mailed to both the GNU developers and the Debian Bash maintainers. The recipients can be changed
by giving a comma separated list of bug-report-email-addresses.
If you invoke bashbug by accident, just quit your editor. You will always be asked for confirmation before a bug report is sent.
OPTIONS --help
Show a brief usage message and exit.
--version

maintainers.
