Hi All,

Is there any commands in linux equivalent for Solaris commands ckrange, ckyorn ???

I am sorry if this quetion is not relevant to this forum. From which forum i should post it??


-Kotresh.

Could you tell us what they do. Some of us dont know Solaris.

Hi,

Extract from Solaris Man pages.
ckrange:
DESCRIPTION
The ckrange utility prompts a user for an integer between a
specified range and determines whether this response is
valid. It defines, among other things, a prompt message
whose response should be an integer in the range specified,
text for help and error messages, and a default value (which
is returned if the user responds with a <RETURN>).

This command also defines a range for valid input. If either
the lower or upper limit is left undefined, then the range
is bounded on only one end.

ckyorn:

DESCRIPTION
ckyorn prompts a user and validates the response. It
defines, among other things, a prompt message for a yes or
no answer, text for help and error messages, and a default
value (which is returned if the user responds with a
<RETURN>).

I hope this is right forum for such porting quetions.

-Thanks.
Kotresh.

I don't know of any equivalents. It's easy enough to duplicate such prompt and validation in whatever language you are working in.
