Bash Script – Read User Input | bash script input arguments | bash read user input into variable To read user input in a Bash script, you can use the read command. The read command prompts the user for input and stores the input in a variable.
The syntax for the read command is as follows:
Bash
read [-p prompt] variable
Use code with caution. Learn more
The -p flag specifies a prompt to display to the user. The variable is the name of the variable that will store the user's input.
If you do not specify a prompt, the read command will simply display a blank line and wait for the user's input.
Here is an example of how to use the read command to read user input:
Bash
#!/bin/bash
# Prompt the user for their name
read -p "Enter your name: " name
# Print the user's name to the terminal
