bash scripting - read command and input echo
 

Is there a way to make the read command show the typed text while it is being typed, so that the user can see and check his input before pressing ENTER?

Hi,

can you give an example of what you tried and did not work as expected? AFAIK, echoing the input is the default behavior of read. At least it is for the bash builtin, unless you invoke it with the -s (silent) option.

You are perfectly right.
It was quite a silly question of mine.
I realized my mistake a few minutes after posting.
Maybe I should give up drinking so much orange juice...
