I'm currently writing a script that prompts the user for a bunch of response's then executes a command.
Just before I execute the commands I ask the user if all the info they just entered is correct.
If they say yes then I executed the command, if I say no I just rerun the script so it starts over, however I run into problems at the end of the script, it asks them to exit the script twice.
sh doesn't seem to have a goto command.. how would I write this into a shell that supports goto or how can I rewrite this to allow the user to goto the top with out starting the script over again.
This is my script
Code:
sleep 1
date=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`
clear
echo "Please enter your station #\n"
read station
if [ "$station" = "exit" ]; then
exit
fi
clear
echo "Enter more data"
read data1
if [ "$data1" = "exit" ]; then
exit
fi
clear
echo "Enter your campaign eg. 999999"
read campaign
if [ "$campaign" = "exit" ]; then
exit
fi
clear
echo "Enter your ID. eg. 9999zz"
read agentid
if [ "$agentid" = "exit" ]; then
exit
fi
clear
echo "Station your at = $station"
echo "Data = $data"
echo "Campain = $campaign"
echo "Your agent id = $agentid"
echo "Is the above info correct? (y or n)"
read info
filename=$campaign"_"$date$data$agentid"_"
if [ "$info" = "Y" -o "$info" = "y" ]; then
command "start record l $station $filename"
echo " \n"
echo "Recording is now started for Line $station "
sleep 5
clear
else
if [ "$info" = "N" -o "$info" = "n" ]; then
clear
#echo "thank you N works"
./script
else
echo "Please make sure your response is either "y" or "n" "
sleep 2
clear
./script
fi
fi
sleep 1
echo "Please press Y when ready to stop Recording"
read end
if [ "$end" = "Y" -o "$end" = "y" ]; then
clear
command "stop record l $station"
echo "Your recording is now stoped\n"
echo "GoodBye\n"
else
clear
command "stop record l $station"
echo "You hit a key other then \"y\" stoping recording anyway"
sleep 2
fi
exit
Any help would be great, thanks.

Oh and it is good pratice to give exit statements a value.
i.e.
Code:
# My Function
GetStation ()
{
sleep 1
date=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`
clear
echo "Please enter your station #\n"
read station
if [ "$station" = "exit" ]; then
exit 3
fi
}
# Main code
GetStation
To loop, we usually use a while statement. You can use an infinite loop and just exit when you are done. You also use "break" to get out of an infinite loop.
To be a strict constructionist you can also do:
LOOPING=true
while [ $LOOPING = true ] ; do
and then set LOOPING=false inside the loop when you're done.
