Code:
#!/bin/bash
d=" 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10 "  # spaces all around each number
echo -n "enter 1 - 10:"
read value
echo "$d" |  grep -q " $value "   # note spaces around value
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
   echo "okay"
else
   echo "not ok"

...or use the case statement
Code:
#!/bin/bash
shopt -s extglob
d="1|2|3|4|5|6"
case $i in
  @($d)) echo "okay";;
  *) echo "not ok";;
esac
