Issue
I'm looking to name my menu options, it currently looks like this -
1) Option 1
2) Option 2
3) Option 3
4) Quit
I tried adding menu descriptions by editing the following but it returns no results when you enter a menu number
options=("Option 1 - Search with no date filter. SLOW!!" "Option 2 - Search via year" "Option 3 - Full date search" "Quit")
I would like it to look like this -
1) Option 1 - Search with no date filter. SLOW!!
2) Option 2 - Search via year
3) Option 3 - Full date search
4) Quit
Full script -
#!/bin/bash
echo ""
PS3='Please enter your choice: '
echo ""
#options=("Option 1 - Search with no date filter. SLOW!!" "Option 2 - Search via year" "Option 3 - Full date search" "Quit")
options=("Option 1" "Option 2" "Option 3" "Quit")
echo ""
select opt in "${options[@]}"
do
case $opt in
"Option 1")
echo ""
echo Please enter the telephone number?
echo ""
read vartel
echo ""
grep -e $vartel /root/hourly/cdr_export-hourly-*.csv
echo ""
;;
"Option 2")
echo ""
echo Please enter the telephone number?
echo ""
read vartel
echo ""
echo Please enter the last two year digits?
echo ""
read varyear
echo ""
grep -e $vartel /root/hourly/cdr_export-hourly-$varyear*.csv
echo ""
;;
"Option 3")
echo ""
echo Please enter the telephone number?
echo ""
read vartel
echo ""
echo Please enter the last two year digits?
echo ""
read varyear
echo ""
echo Please enter the month?
echo ""
read varmonth
echo ""
echo Please enter the day?
echo ""
read varday
echo ""
grep -e $vartel /root/hourly/cdr_export-hourly-$varyear-$varmonth-$varday*.csv
echo ""
;;
"Quit")
break
;;
*) echo "invalid option $REPLY";;
esac
done
Solution
How about:
case "$opt" in
"Option 1"*)
...
;;
"Option 2"*)
...
;;
"Quit")
break
;;
*)
...
;;
esac
