From: ARichard@stark.cc.oh.us ("Richardson,Anthony") Subject: Extra newline with bash read? 30 May 1997 17:24:47 -0700 Approved: cygnus.gnu-win32@cygnus.com Distribution: cygnus Message-ID: <199705301343.JAA06726.cygnus.gnu-win32@dialup.oar.net> Original-To: "'Gnu-Win32 List'" X-Mailer: Worldtalk (NetConnex V4.00)/MIME Original-Sender: owner-gnu-win32@cygnus.com My shell scripts that use "read" to get user input aren't working. Here's a simple example: #!/bin/sh echo -n "input a1: " read a1 echo -n "input a2: " read a2 echo "a1 = " $a1 echo "a2 = " $a2 It doesn't wait for input at "read a2" and a2 doesn't get set. Is the "Enter" key being read as a pair? Is there a fix?
