idea shell 使用linux_Linux Shell从用户输入获取设备ID

I am working on an install script for a program that needs the device id from lsusb in it's configuration so I was thinking of doing the following:

$usblist=(lsusb)

#put the list into a array for each line.

#use the array to give the user a selection list usinging whiptail.

#from that line strip out the device id and vender id from the selected line.

Sorry I haven't gotten very far with my code but I am stuck on this and have no idea how to do what I would like to do. Please can someone help. I am very new to shell scripting

Using whiptail for choosing USB device

For preparing whiptail or dialog command, with USB ID as TAG and description as item, you could create a little sub-shell:

read usbdev <

declare -a array=()

while read foo{,,,,} id dsc;do

array+=($id "$dsc")

done <

whiptail --menu 'Select USB device' 20 76 12 "${array[@]}" 2>&1 >/dev/tty

)

Nota:

The $array variable won't exist outside of the scope of subshell.

As $array is populated by ($id "$dsc") and used by "${array[@]}", space in description won't break item list.

syntax read foo{,,,} id dsc will read output of lsub by line, space separated, dropping 5 first words, assigning 6th word to id and rest of line to dsc.

This could render something like:

Then

echo $usbdev
