Shell Scripting (prompt off)

Dear all experts,
I have a script written to compress a list of files, during compressing, some of the files are having same name. When the compressing started, the same name file will be prompted with message whether to overwrite the old file. I need to enter "y" to continue.
Is there any way I can put into the script so that it will answer "y" for each of the prompted question?
In DOS, as I know can put a prompt off, but I do not know what should I put on Shell Script.
Thanks.
