Looping in script 1

[chomps303]

I need a script to

1. ask a simple question
2. get answer
3. save answer in a flat file
4. loop and ask question again
5. if answer is null exit

***********************************************************
while true
doif [ $TTY = "" ]
then
break
else
echo "Enter ttyp to kill \c"
read TTY
cat $TTY >> ttylist
fi
done
***********************************************************

What am I doing wrong??

Thanks

Try something like this:

while echo "Enter ttyp to kill \c"
do  read TTY
    if [ "$TTY" = "" ]
    then
        break
    else
        echo $TTY >> ttylist
    fi
done

Hope This Help

Another solution :

while :
do
read TTY?"Enter ttyp to kill : "
[ -z "$TTY" ] && break
echo $TTY >> ttylist
done
[/tt]
