</code></pre></div> <h2 id=description>Description<a class=headerlink href=#description title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h2> <p>This compound command provides a kind of menu. The user is prompted with a <em>numbered list</em> of the given words, and is asked to input the index number of the word. If a word was selected, the variable <code>&lt;NAME&gt;</code> is set to this word, and the <a href=../../basicgrammar/#lists>list</a> <code>&lt;LIST&gt;</code> is executed.</p> <p>If no <code>in &lt;WORDS&gt;</code> is given, then the positional parameters are taken as words (as if <code>in "$@"</code> was written).</p> <p>Regardless of the functionality, the <em>number</em> the user entered is saved in the variable <code>REPLY</code>.</p> <p>Bash knows an alternative syntax for the <code>select</code> command, enclosing the loop body in <code>{...}</code> instead of <code>do ... done</code>:</p> <div class=highlight><pre><span></span><code>select x in 1 2 3

</code></pre></div> <p>This syntax is <strong>not documented</strong> and should not be used. I found the parser definitions for it in 1.x code, and in modern 4.x code.
