Whiptail question
I am not sure if this is the best place to ask this but I am having a
little trouble with whiptail.
This does not work:
#! /bin/bash
BOXTITLE="A Title"
BACKTITLE="Screen Title"
if (whiptail --backtitle $BACKTITLE --title $BOXTITLE --yesno "Yes or No"
7 40)
then
echo -e "\nYes\n"
else
echo -e "\nNo\n"
fi
If I hardcode the titles into the string like this ... --backtitle "Screen
Title" -- title "A Title" ... it works.
This seems to be to be a serious waste of space and programming effort
particularly when you have titles that may remain the same through several
boxes.
