Say I want to write a bash script that takes user input, inserts it into a URL and then downloads it. Something like this:
#!/bin/bash
cd /path/to/folder
echo Which version?
read version
curl -O http://assets.company.tld/$version/foo.bar
Would this work? If not, how can I do what I'm trying to do?
#!/bin/bash
version=$1
cd /path/to/folder
echo $version
curl -o $version-foo.bar http://assets.company.tld/$version/foo.bar
where $1 is the first positional argument
So, suppose you save the script with name assets.sh. Then you can using the same like following:
./assests.sh ver1
where ver1 is the version
[EDIT] If you want an interactive session:
#!/bin/bash
version=$1
cd /path/to/folder
echo -n "Which version you want? "
read version
curl -o $version-foo.bar http://assets.company.tld/$version/foo.bar
