Enter key in unix

Comment:

Hello All, Can you help me in capturing the enter key in the script? For eg : echo "Press Enter to continue :" -> after this the script should wait until the user presses enter and then will continue once the user press Enter.. How do i acheive this? Regards, Neeraja

A read statement (into a variable) will wait for a prompt.  Check the variable for the user's input (if desired): echo "Press Enter to continue: \c" read reply if [ ! "$reply" ] ; then    echo "The user pressed Enter" else    echo "The user entered: $reply" fi
