It's very easy with "case" operator. Here is the source (is is also attached - just save it, "chmod +x menu.sh" and launch it "./menu.sh"): +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ #!/bin/bash #output a menu echo "[menu]" echo "1 do this" echo "2 do that" echo "3 etc" #echo with no end-of-line echo -n "selection: " #read user input read action #do something depending on input stored in $action variable case $action in 1) echo "you selected 1" #put action 1 here ;; 2) echo "you selected 2" #put action 2 here ;; 3) echo "you selected 3" #put action 3 here ;; *) echo "you can select only 1, 2 or 3" #default action ;; esac #that's all echo "bye" +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hope this helps.
