For class I need to write a Bash script that will take the output from ispell
and when I try and request user input inside the while loop it just saves the next line of the file as the user input.
How could I go about requesting user input in the while loop?
#!/bin/bash
#Returns the misspelled words
#ispell -l < file
#define vars
ISPELL_OUTPUT_FILE="output.tmp";
INPUT_FILE=$1
ispell -l < $INPUT_FILE > $ISPELL_OUTPUT_FILE;
#echo a new line for give space between command
#and the output generated
echo "";
while read line;
do
echo "'$line' is misspelled. Press "Enter" to keep";
read -p "this spelling, or type a correction here: " USER_INPUT;
if [ $USER_INPUT != "" ]
then
echo "INPUT: $USER_INPUT";
fi
echo ""; #echo a new line
done < $ISPELL_OUTPUT_FILE;
rm $ISPELL_OUTPUT_FILE;
