Wrench Script to call a menu script and redirect each option to a text file
Hello,

I want to design a script that will call an existing menu script and select options one by one and redirict the out put to a file.

For example;-
In the script MENU.sh there are 10 options i want to design a script MENU2.sh that will select option 2 3 4 6 7 10 and redirict the output to xyz.txt

Could you please help me on this

Thanks

Please try something like this, as your question is not clear.

Code:
printf "ENTER UR CHOICE==> "
read ch;
case $ch in
1) sudo su - user1 ;;
2) sudo su - user2 ;;
3) sudo su - user3 ;;
4) break ;;
*) printf "";
   printf "INVALID OPTION SELECTED " ;
   printf "";;
esac

Hello,
If you want to create an automate, you can follow this example:
Code:
$ mkfifo exchange

Code:
$ cat menu.sh
#!/bin/bash
 
while true
do
        echo "Valeur:"
        read f
        if [ "${f}" -eq "12" ]
        then
                echo "Bingo"
                sleep 2
                exit
        fi
done

Code:
$ cat menu2.sh
#!/bin/bash
 
for i in {1..15}
do
        read f
        if [ "$f" = "Valeur:" ]
        then
                echo "$f $i" >&2
                echo $i
        fi
        if [ "$f" = "Bingo" ]
        then
                echo "$f" >&2
                exit
        fi
done

I have redirect echo to error (>&2) otherwise we don't see nothing.
Code:
$ ./menu.sh <exchange | ./menu2.sh >exchange
Valeur: 1
Valeur: 2
Valeur: 3
Valeur: 4
Valeur: 5
Valeur: 6
Valeur: 7
Valeur: 8
Valeur: 9
Valeur: 10
Valeur: 11
Valeur: 12
Bingo

But, this code work if in menu.sh, you don't use the -p option of the read commande.

Best regards.
