1. Objective
Demonstrate advanced user input and conditional statement techniques in Bash shell scripting

2. User Input Techniques


Example: Simple Name Capture-

#!/bin/bash read -p "Enter Your Name: " username

echo "Hello, $username!"

Key Points:

1. -p flag allows prompt message


2. $REPLY automatically stores input
3. Direct variable assignment possible

Example: Collecting Multiple Names-

#!/bin/bash read -p "Enter 3 Names (space-separated): " -a names

echo "First Name: ${names[0]}"

echo "Second Name: ${names[1]}"

echo "Third Name: ${names[2]}"

Key Points:

• -a flag creates an array


• Array indexing starts at 0
• Space-separated inputs

Example: Username and Password-

#!/bin/bash

read -p "Enter Username: " username

read -sp "Enter Password: " password

DIU 2/5/2025
echo -e "\nUsername: $username"

echo "Password securely captured"

Key Points:

• -s flag hides input


• Prevents password visibility
• Secure input method

3. Conditional Statements
Example: Number Comparison-

#!/bin/bash

count=15

if (( count > 10 ))

then

echo "Count is greater than 10"

fi

if [ $count -gt 10 ]

then

echo "Count is greater than 10"

fi

Key Points:

• (( )) for arithmetic operations


• [ ] for traditional test conditions
• -gt means "greater than"

DIU 2/5/2025
Example: Age-based Classification-

#!/bin/bash

read -p "Enter your age: " age

if [ $age -lt 18 ]

then

echo "Minor"

elif [ $age -ge 18 ] && [ $age -lt 60 ]

then

echo "Adult"

else

echo "Senior Citizen"

fi

Key Points:

• Multiple condition checking


• && for logical AND
• Comprehensive age categorization

Example: User Registration-

#!/bin/bash

read -p "Enter Username: " username

read -sp "Enter Password: " password

echo -e "\n"

if [ ${#password} -ge 8 ]

then

echo "Registration Successful!"

DIU 2/5/2025
else

echo "Password too short. Registration Failed."

Fi

Key Points:

• Combines secure input


• Password length validation
• ${#password} gives string length
