it could be something like this #!/bin/bash ... ... echo -n "Hit space to continue" read -n 1 dummy
Which will cause bash to return after exactly one char is entered
That makes sense, in which case, if you have something like:
read num read -n 1 dummy read yn
you can run the script as:
... <<EOF 100 dy EOF
so num gets the value "100", dummy gets the value "d" and yn gets the value "y".
