hi guys! i want my user to create some new files in a directory:
i would like the user to choose a file name and then to create some kind of user friendly utility that makes my user write what he/she wants in the file and then save it in the chosen directory.
let's say that in my programme i write something like:
[CODE]
echo "Please, type the name of your first file: \c"
read firstfile
cat>$firstfile
[/CODE}
in this case the user will type the name of a file and the cat command will take him/her directly to writing utility so i think, not a very user friendly solution.....any other ideas? any other command other than CAT i could use?
sorry still me but questions come to my mind while i'm working at the script...i am performing a series of IF tests, and lets say that after a
if.....then
fi
i want to go back where i started, so for example i've written:
echo "Now that you are in $choice, would you like to create some files? {y/n} \c"
read userchoice
if [ "$userchoice" = y ]
then
../esterno #it goes to another file i have created
else
#go back to the first question that was
# echo "Would you like to create a directory named $choice? {y/n} \c"
how can i do that without rewriting the same code? hope my questions are clear....
