end of case

UNIX AIX

hello

How can I go out to a "case" boucle, but not finish the program :

echo " your choice :"
read grp1
do
case ${grp1} in
1)grp1="toto1";;
2)grp1="toto2";;
3)grp1="toto3";;
4)grp1="toto4";;
5)grp1=t;;
6)grp1=t;;
7)grp1=t;;
8)grp1=t;;
9)grp1=t;;
10)autreprofil;;
-> C) exit;; ?????????????
*)clear; echo; echo "-- not good --";
sleep 2;;
esac

thank you

"break" is an option and in fact intended for exactly this purpose, but I don't think it should be used, because it makes the code somewhat hard to read if using multiple nested loops. After all, "break" could even be used with a number designating the number of loop levels you'd like to jump out.

while [ $x ] ; do
     while [ $y ] ; do
          while [ $z ] ; do
               break 2
          done
     done
     # the "break 2" will bring you here
done

I'd use the following construction:

typeset -i continuation=1

while [ $continuation -gt 0 ] ; do
     print "enter a value: " ; read input
     case $input in
          a)
               # do somenthing
               ;;
 
          b)
               # do something else
               ;;

          z)
               continuation=0     # exit loop
               ;;
 
          *) 
               print "don't enter garbage svp"
               ;;
 
     esac
done
