Nested case

[kaspareov]

Hi there,

I have nested case in my script. I am asking user, want to continue? if user press y/Y then my inner case should continue, rather than that my code start from beginning. I would like to continue my inner case until user press n or N. Is any one tell me how can I do?

Thanking You,

[atreyu]

Can you post some code?

Hi,



I am very sorry to delay reply. Please find my code as follow:

#!/usr/bin/sh

wantMore ()

{

echo "Do you want to do more? "

echo "Enter either "y or Y" to continue or "n or N" to exit."

read key

case "$key" in


[yY]) continue

;;

[nN]) exit ;;

esac 

}


while true

do

clear

echo "**************************************************** 

* Main Menu *

**************************************************** 

1. aaaaaaaaaa 

2. bbbbbbbbbbb

3. ccccccccccccc 

4. ddddddddd 

5. Quit. 

*****************************************************"

echo "Enter your choice: "

read choice


case "$choice" in 

1) some code

wantMore

;; 


2) some code 

wantMore

;;

3) 

clear

echo "**************************************************** 

* Modify Menu *

**************************************************** 

a. aaaaaaaaaaa.

b. bbbbbbbb

c. ccccccccc

d. dddddddddd

e. eeeeeeeeee

*****************************************************"

echo "Enter your selection: "

read option

case "$option" in

[aA]) some code

wantMore

;;

[bB]) some code

wantMore

;;

[cC]) some code

wantMore

;;

[dD]) some code

wantMore

;;

[eE]) some code

wantMore

;;

esac

;;

4) some code

wantMore ;; 

5) echo "Good Bye!!!" 

exit ;;


*) echo Please enter valid option.

sleep 2 

continue 1;;

esac

done

I would like to remian in appropriate case until user say n/N.

After looking at the code, I don't understand what you want. Give a specific example of what a user might select and what you want the code to do, i.e.,

the user will choose 1) from the Main Menu and after arbitrary code is executed, they should be prompted to continue, and if yes, do this/show this menu, and if no, do that/show that menu, etc.
