I am trying to write the code for this psudo code;
function askYN{
echo "continue?"
read the response into $response
}
#set some variables
dothisalways="true"
dothisoptional="false"
if [ $dothisalways ] || [ askYN "Do the compulsory thing?" ]
then
echo "This is always done because dothisalways is set to true"
fi
if [ $dothisoptional ] || [ askYN "Do the optional thing?" ]
then
echo "This is done if the variable is set to true (no prompt) OR variable
set to false and user answered Y at prompt"
else
echo "This is done if the variable is set to false AND user answered N at
prompt"
fi
This is what i have so far, but it complains (i think) because of the
parameters passed into askYN.
I think i need to somehow bracket them
if [ askYN "Blah" -eq 0 ] && [ $response == "yes" ]
then
echo "Doing it"
else
echo "Not doing it."
fi
can anyone help me?
