Hi,

Have google'd but can't find the answer...

How can I do this (or something equivalent): read -p "Press Enter to Continue"

..when using the /bin/sh interpreter.

read -p works fine on my other system which uses /bin/bash

TIA.

Does this work?

Code:

#!/bin/sh

printf "Enter something: "
read myvar
echo $myvar
