Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All,

./procdure.ksh which opens the below the menu, I want to build a script which will press 4 and run the Sector Data Automatically (instead of pressing option 4 manually)

Is there any way for this, please let me know...

1) FX Rates MDU 9) Fidessa Cash Equities
2) FX Rates DMDS 10) Fidessa Rest of World Orders
3) Market Data 11) Restricted List
4) Sector Data 12) Hong Kong GL Feed
5) Paris Cash Equities 13) Research Feed
6) Paris Derivatives 14) MDU FI Feed
7) London Derivatives 15) FI BBLink Trade
8) Fidessa Books 16) Return
Select one of the Above Procedure Groups: 4

echo -e "\n\n \t\t\tPLEASE SELECT THE OPTION"
echo -e "\n\n\t\t\t\t1. first option"
echo -e "\n\n\t\t\t\t2. second option "
echo -e "\n\n\t\t\t\t3. Third optoin "
echo -e "\n\n\t\t\t\t4. Fourth option"
echo -e "\n\n\t\t YOUR OPTION ::"

select=$@

#OR either you can parse argument with option which you want to #run in your menu or directly you can give the option as hard code #inside your sciript

select=1

case $select in
1) echo "first one"
;;
2) echo "second one"
;;
3) echo "third one"
;;
4) echo "fourth one"
;;
esac

Note:- I hv to embed this code in my other big script

Now i have included condition ..so this code can directly implement in your script..

should work..


echo -e "\n\n \t\t\tPLEASE SELECT THE OPTION"
echo -e "\n\n\t\t\t\t1. first option"
echo -e "\n\n\t\t\t\t2. second option "
echo -e "\n\n\t\t\t\t3. Third optoin "
echo -e "\n\n\t\t\t\t4. Fourth option"
echo -e "\n\n\t\t YOUR OPTION ::"

select=$@

if [ -z $select ]
then
echo "enter the option to proceed further"
read select
fi

case $select in
1) echo "first one"
;;
2) echo "second one"
;;
3) echo "third one"
;;
4) echo "fourth one"
;;
esac

Thanks

you could use expect

Expect - Expect - Home Page

./procdure.ksh seems to be a script you own, written to manage your environment. Edit the script and add the ability to pass the menu option as command line argument 1. This will come a useful option, when you find other menu items you wish to execute without having to manually select from the menu.

this is very cool, i did not know you could do this - i wish ksh had this functionality
