Im writing a script to help automate some tasks and i can get a the user input 1 2 or 3 to execute different things. I can't figure out how to get the read value to work in the if then statement. Please help here is a layout of the problem.



#!/bin/bash

echo """ Input your selection
1) KillAll, enable script!
2) Ooops error.
3) Doh.
"""

read mine

if mine=1
then
echo " Your select will begin shortly:"
elif mine=2
echo "Bad choice since the program isn't finished"
else
echo "DOOOOOOOH"

fi
sleep 15
exit

You need to put $ in front of variables, [ $var -eq <num> ] for the if comparisons, and a then after the elif:

#!/bin/bash

echo """ Input your selection
1) KillAll, enable script!
2) Ooops error.
3) Doh.
"""

read mine

if [ $mine -eq 1 ]
then
echo " Your select will begin shortly:"
elif [ $mine -eq 2 ]
then
echo "Bad choice since the program isn't finished"
else
echo "DOOOOOOOH"

fi
sleep 15
exit
