Get your daily dose of code here!

How to make a simple 'press enter to continue' - "complex"?
You add options Smilie
Code:
	press() { # [-c -l -r] [STR]
	# Requires the user to press [Enter/Return] before script continues
	# c=center ,l=left , r=right
		# Vars
		local mode=""
		# Catch arguments
		for opt in "${@}"
		do	if [[ "-" == "${opt:0:1}" ]] 
			then	case "${opt/-}" in
				"c")	mode="center"
					shift
					;;
				"l")	mode="left"
					shift
					;;
				"r")	mode="right"
					shift
					;;
				esac
			fi
		done
	# Display	
		case "$mode" in
		"center")
			printl "" "${1:-$SWARM_MSG_PRESS_ENTER}" "" 
			;;
		"left")
			printl "${1:-$SWARM_MSG_PRESS_ENTER}"
			;;
		"right")
			printl "" "" "${1:-$SWARM_MSG_PRESS_ENTER}" 
			;;
		*)
			printl "${1:-$SWARM_MSG_PRESS_ENTER}" "" "${1:-$SWARM_MSG_PRESS_ENTER}"
			;;
		esac
	# Action :p	
		builtin read
	}

Oh it will be so fun when/once I add/ed 'kiosk'-mode to several functions Smilie
