# If you want to write a bash script where you ask the user how to proceed, you
# could do something like this:
read -r -p $'\nDo you want to perform this action? (y/n/q): ' RESPONSE

# Note, the patterns like [Yy]* will match the string in $RESPONSE if that
# string starts with Y or y followed by any number of other characters. So
# it would also match Yes, yes, yertyujiwjwijdwi, etc
# Note, if you want this message to keep repeating until the user types q, put
# the above in a while loop that never ends (e.g. while true; do ... done)Copyright © 2021 Codeinu
