Bash script

[ronmanp]

Hi,

I need help with my script that needs to write a letter (a or f) for english and french to a file and then I need to read that letter to create a variable named $language.

Im totally lost! lol

Thanks in advance,

[ronmanp]

nevermind I found it

exec 3<> ~/sdelrc
read langue <&3
exec 3>&-

this will read the first line of sdelrc and create a variable named $langue with it !

ps: I have another question !

Is it possible to use a case inside a case ? Because Im getting a error with this ...

echo "Quel langue? / What language? (F)rançais / (E)nglish?:"
						read language
					case "$language" in
							   "f"|"F" ) 
									echo f > ~/sdelrc
									echo "Écraser le fichier SpecFICH (O)ui , (N)on?:"
									read confirmation
									case $confirmation in
									"o"|"O" )
									 mv -f $1 ~/corb.dir
									;;
									 "n"|"N" )
								  exit 0
								  ;;
									  esac 
							   "a"|"A" )
								echo a > ~/sdelrc
								echo "Overwrite file FILESpec (Y)es , (N)o?:"
								   read confirmation
								   case $confirmation in
								"o"|"O" )
								mv $1 ~/corb.dir
								;;
								esac 
						 esac
