Looping a script
 

Is there a way that the user can re use the script with out opening it?

using and if statement for example

echo "Would you like to run this script again Y/N"
read answer
if answer="Y"
then
.....
else
exit
fi

Regards.

Read man bash, really.

REPEAT=Y
while [ "REPEAT" = Y ]; do
...
echo "Would you like to run this script again Y/N";
read REPEAT;
done;

Thank you very much.

Actually man bash is pretty impenetrable. You might prefer to start with one of the many bash tutorials that are around the web. One is http://www-128.ibm.com/developerwork...ry/l-bash.html

Well, why do you undermine self-confidence of someone who hasn't yet tried? Man bash is not impenetrable - I read it having knowledge level no higher than Keentolearn's one, I guess. Really both man bash and info bash are rather compressed, and are close derivatives of POSIX standard for shell. But they can be read - at least when you believe in yourself.
