Been a long time since i scripted, here’s what I’m trying to do.

Have 5 inputs(or more) The person selects them on the line after starting the script, like 1 2 3 4 5, I then run that through a case statement to execute specific functions.

I had something like this but it doesn’t work, tried different args in the getopts, nothing seems to get it into the case statement.

read opt

 while getopts ":1234567:" opt
   do
      case "$opt" in
              1) print "you selected option 1" ;;
              2) print "you selected option 2" ;;
              3) print "you selected option 3" ;;
              4) print "you selected option 4" ;;
              5) print "you selected option 5" ;;

?) echo “unknown Option -$OPTARG” ; exit ;;

🙂 echo “missing required parameter for Option -$OPTARG” ; exit 1 ;;

      esac
   done

shift $(($OPTIND -1))
print “Your value testing $opt”
}

Tried the above code, no luck
