Dynamic select with multiple word menu items
Hello all,
I'm developing a deployment script at work and at one point it would need to display something like this:
Which version of ADMIN would you like to deploy?
1) 1.0.0 (store1, 10 Jan 2004)
2) 1.0.1 (store1, 20 Jun 2004)
3) 1.0.2 (store1, 15 Jul 2004)
Select a version :
I know how I could do this in the hardcoded way, BUT the list of menu items being displayed is collected dynamically when needed.
The actual question being : Is it possible to somehow parameterise the select statement so that it displays menu items in which blanks can appear.
Example of hardcoded way :
select option in "one one" "two two"; do
break
done
displays:
1) one one
2) two two
So, how can this "one one" "two two" part in the select be replaced by something that is parameterised.
Thanks.
