Dialog --menu limitation for the entries for selection
Hi Guys,
Please pardon me if this is a silly question, but I have tried to find an answer and going through the man page and failed to get one. I have created a menu driven script with dialog --menu option. Everything is working as expeted, however, it seems that if I have more than 10 entries in the selection menu, anything above entry 10 will not work. I wonder if there is a limitation for the diaglog --menu option to maximum of 10 entries only? Appreciate some guidance.

There are a lot of possibilities based on what you have said, but without seeing what you have done, it is very hard to guess at what might be wrong. Please show us the code you have written, tell us what input you provided to the script, show us the output you got, and show us the output you were expecting. And, please tell us what operating system and shell you're using.
