> BASH builtin for retrieving data from standard input.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Store data that you type from the keyboard:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`read {{variable}}`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Store each of the next lines you enter as values of an array:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`read -a {{array}}`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Enable backspace and GNU readline hotkeys when entering input with read:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`read -e {{variable}}`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Specify the number of maximum characters to be read:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`read -n {{character_count}} {{variable}}`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Use a specific character as a delimiter instead of a new line:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`read -d {{new_delimiter}} {{variable}}`
