Shell Programming and Scripting

Okay guys thanks for your help but i'm completly lost.

Rudic i tryed this....

Code:

#!/bin/bash

while true
  do   choice="$(zenity --width=200 --height=150 --list --column "" --title="test" 
 
        case $choice in
                "go to menu")   ... ;;
                "test")         ... ;;
                "exit")         ... ;;
                *)              error handling ;;
        esac
  done

rbatte1 i tryed your code i am able to get the main menu but when i want the sub menu gets complicated . i don't get with the if how to select the variable and apply it

how can i say if [select "go to menu" do .... ]
the code:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
keep_looping=1
while [ $keep_looping -eq 1 ]
do choice="$(zenity --width=200 --height=150 --list --column "" --title="test" \
  "Go to next menu" \
 "test"
  "Exit ")"
   
   if [  "${choice}" in     
    "Go to next menu" )
      while true; do
        choice2="$(zenity --width=200 --height=150 --list --column "" --title="test" \
        "Do Something" \
        "Do Something Else " \
        "Back")" 
  
        
      done  ]
   then
      echo "Leaving loop"
      keep_looping=0
   fi
done

Did you REALLY try that pseudo code verbatim?

well i though i could manage to do some with it.

And what did you do with it?

absolutly nothing !

i agree i am from understanding well bash i just need example related to my code to get it...

Maybe there's a misunderstanding here.

When someone posts a problem in these fora, quite a lot of volunteers read it and might want to jump in to help, sometimes giving hints, sometimes pointing out errors, sometimes, if you're lucky, providing an entire working program, eventually even including error handling. The latter shouldn't be expected. And, it can happen only if the situation is absolutely clear, i.e. the requirements are clearly stated, own attempts and representative input data are posted, a desired output is shown, and possible error messages are depicted.

This is not the case with your posts. Unless you give us way more details, I see the help we can give is very general hints only. Like the structural approach models given. You would need to apply some creativity to adapt those to your own problem. If you get stuck, post your attempt and where you're stuck, and we're happy to help out further.

there is no misunderstanding no need to post that much i know how it works.

i post my code wich is working but have a loop issue then you gave me some advice wich i try to apply at best .
then
your colleague gave another way to do it wich i tryed also but has it's not my code anymore i don't know how to use it that's why i ask an "example" related to my code.

I didn't ask to write the code for me but just an example to help me understand

And this kind of answer "Did you REALLY try that pseudo code verbatim?" does not provide help even if it look stupid to you
