This is the skeleton of code from the shell I try to get to work. I experimented quite a lot with various stdin and stdout redirection commands but was not successful so far. Would anoyne know how to make possible for the echo in the below code to do what it should do which is prompt the user for entry from the keyboard?
This is the skeleton code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
exec 5<input1
exec 6<out1
awk 'BEGIN {
}
{
x=$1
print ""x""
echo "do you want to continue y/n ===> \c"
read answ
}' <&5 2>&6
~:
and this is the input1 file:
$ more input1
aaaa
bbbb
cccc
and this is the result (I am not seeing the required prompt and I want to)
$ test6
aaaa
bbbb
cccc
