Hello,
a simple (i hope ;->) question for bash scripting experts:
I want to write a script, that interactivly prompts the user
for a couple of input items. So my bash code looks like
this: read -er -p"ItemX: " ITEMX
Most of the items have default values, and I would find it
very user-friendly, if readline's edit buffer would be pre-
initialized with this default value, instead of an empty string.
Then the user just has to hit <return> to enter the default
value, very comfortable.
Any idea how to achieve this?
Thanks.
Best regards
Sven
