Right church wrong pew -

sorry I do not know how my NEW post got here.

Adding these options -rs -n1 "falls" thru the "Pause" function
without waiting for any key.
Which will be handy to "remove" all debugging "pause" later. Thanks

OK,

I know function has to be defined first - in sequence - before it can be used.

So the script has to be build "bottoms -up style, if you pardon my expression.

I am running into a...

OK, but why it accepts only "enter" key to terminate?

I have this simple code to stop script execution.

I did not invent it, and it works.
It used to have fackEnterKey as option, but it works without it.



My curiosity question is -

thanks, I'll try your approach .



I am still trying to understand how bash code is executed.
Perhaps my perception of code line executing "left to right" is basically wrong.



Look at...

I figured this forum needs some laughs , so I am posting this.

And if the answer is - it depends on bash version - do not reply.



This is from "manual"

Maybe.

Here is the debug output as code is being processed.

It looks to me that each pass add next string and than debug prints the whole file.

But it builds multiple "strings"and it...

Very useful suggestion. I believe my "problem" is hacking "inherited" script. Since it is my first bash scrip I just "fix" what I need and most of the time do not spent much time to fully analyze /...

Thanks, I think you answered my question.
The whiptail menu while read "searches" are indeed redirected and pause expect stdio.

It will take me a while to fix that after I'll take a harder...

I am using while read do/ done to retrieve menu item.

Works as advertised, no problem.

I am using this hack function "pause" to stop script execution and wait for keyboard "enter" key to...

Appreciate that very much.

I do understand that bash variables are "not typed", but still learning usage of...

Sorry, but this post does not answer / address my question.

I have no problem building the array manually, but I was just trying to use loop.

Actually I like to know if such operation is even...

i need to add 2 string variables into a positioning array , repeatedly - in loop.

First string in $2, second to $3 then up to the desired count incrementing the "position".
Using set -- alone...

I am sorry, that is not what I asked for.
Maybe this will clarify my request.

Here is a sample of one of the command outputs currently send to terminal and to get back to my script I have to...

The purpose of enclosed script is to execute selected command and output success or failure in whiptail msgBox

Works as expected when command returns zero to msgBox.


I cannot figure out how...

: <<"cut" syntax fixed it!

Thanks

I have been struggling with bash for less than a month now.

The idea was to use existing bash script and ADD some functionality to it.

When I do coding I like to keep my attempts in code so I...

Yes, here is my working code
