Hi, I am trying to input data, using dialog, into a file. I would appreciate help on 1. how to store the input to a file? 2. how to put it in a loop to get a control on how much data is entered 3. pressing ENTER key terminates the dialog - how can I use ENTER key to function same as DOWN ARROW key here's the code #!/bin/bash id="" name="" dob="" exec 3>&1 VALUES=$(dialog --ok-label "Save" \ --title "Add Records" \ --form "Data Capture" \ 15 50 0 \ "Identification No:" 1 1 "$id" 1 10 10 0 \ "name:" 2 1 "$name" 2 10 30 0 \ "Dob:" 3 1 "$dob" 3 10 8 0 \ 2>&1 1>&3) exec 3>&-
You can download ISPConfig 2 and take a look at the setup2 script. It has examples for 1 and 2 that should give you the idea.
thanks thanks points 1 and 2 are now working fine. wonder how ENTER key can work as DOWN ARROW key in dialog form?
