Hello everyone,
A simple question which may have a suggested solution:
I am using, and loving, the select command in a ksh93 script on AIX 6.1 to present users with menus.
I have been successful in controlling all of key input by the users, I still have an issue with the RETURN key. When the menu is presented if the user presses the return key by itself the menu gets redrawn. If the user keeps pressing return the screen keeps getting full of the same menu over and over and it scrolls.
Is there a way to capture the fact that return was pressed by itself and take care of action needed in the do....done attached to the select?
Or alternatively allow the return to redraw the menu but on top the original one, and not append it to the screen after the PS3 prompt?
Hope you all have some suggestions.
Thanks, and a Happy New Year everyone !
