User input problem in a ksh script
 
Hello,

I have a code below where I want to get a user input. It seems to be trivial, but as there is a loop with read -r so the inside read doesn't work properly. It means that the function doesn't wait for an enter.

Any idea how can I solve this?

Code:
while read -r line
do
  read userInput
  echo $userInput
done < $MYFILE

Try:
Code:
read userInput < /dev/tty
