Machine Type: i686-pc-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 3.0
Patch Level: 16
Release Status: release
Description:
When a 'read -p "line of text."' built-in is placed inside a while loop
which has redirected input to another read built-in, the read command
inside the while loop does not execute. I know this sounds vague, but
see the example and it will make more sense.
Repeat-By:
#!/bin/bash
read -p "hello press a key."
while read a b c ; do
echo $a
read -p "Looping.. press a key." <--- This 'read' will not execute.
echo $b
echo $c
done < <(ls -al ~/)
exit 0
