HI ROHON, I do have perl installed in my system.
But the requirement is such that I dont have to hit "Enter key" and I have to give "date" as user input in the format like 2010-12-15, so it has length of 10.
I think short perl code wud be fine as I am not much familiar with PERL.
My perl code exactly match your requirement. It will not accept "Enter Key" as an input. Actually it will, but doesn't react on it. So, if u want to accept only 10 characters than it will be helpful. Also I have seen your previous posts, in which u were demanding a time limit. So, I have modified my perl program and storing input value in one file. After 10 seconds, I will check if file is empty than assign default value else assign entered value.
Your shell script
My perl code
After this u need to validate the input as it should be in the date formate.

Here is how I tried ur code.
I named the script as dlay.sh
and I saved perl code charReading.pl in the dir:/usrdir/
Then I run the script dlay.sh
I hope this is how You run ur script as well.
But , I get an error :
That was one way.....
##############
2nd way:
If I treat the perl code as a function, so the script and perl code are in the same program say testdelay.sh then it gives following error:
Hope its clear... and thanks again for your time.

Reason: Please use code tags
If I treat the perl code as a function, so the script and perl code are in the same program say testdelay.sh
Do u understand what u have written? First confirm me that charReading.pl program is running perfectly. I mean execute it as below and make sure it accepts only 5 characters. After than control comes back to the prompt. Also confirm that /tmp/optFile contains exactly what u have entered.
That is /tmp/optFile contains "rohonbsduser:" instead of "rohon".
I am not sure...but I think ... once I do "cat /tmp/optFile" and then hit "enter", this
"bsduser:" just gets appeneded to "rohon" which is what we are expecting.
