desperate need some help with script

[ec44]

I could use some help inwriting this script - I know it is a loop but am having trouble:

I need a script that will prompt for the user’s first name and store it in a variable. Then prompt for the last name and store it in a variable. Finally, display the stored information in the format “You entered lastname, firstname” and ask the user for confirmation. If the answer is “y” or “yes” then say “Thank you!” if the answer is “n” or “no” then start again with the prompts.

Are you wanting to do this with Bash/Perl/C?

iam using puppy linux

[ec44]

yes bash is ok

[ec44]

so far i have :

#!/bin/bash
declare FName
read -p "enter first name" : "$Fname
declare LName
read -p "enter last name" : "$Lname

[ec44]

actually i have this now:

#!/bin/bash
declare FName
read -p "Enter First Name : " FName

declare LName
read -p "Enter Last Name : " LName
echo "you entered" $FName $LName
echo "is that correct?"

I must admit I'm not fantastic with bash scripting, but this is what I came up with:

#!/bin/bash
 
function readName {
    read -p "Enter first name: " FName
    read -p "Enter last name: " LName
    echo "You entered $FName $LName"
    read -p "Is this correct (y or n)?" valid

    if [ $valid = "y" ]; then
        echo "correct!"
    else
        readName
    fi
}

readName
