## In POSIX sh, select loops are undefined.
|
||||
|
||||
### Problematic code:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
#!/bin/sh
|
||||
echo "Select file to show"
|
||||
select input in *
|
||||
do
|
||||
ls -l "$input"
|
||||
done
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Correct code:
|
||||
|
||||
Either switch to bash:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
#!/usr/bin/env bash
|
||||
echo "Select file to show"
|
||||
select input in *
|
||||
do
|
||||
ls -l "$input"
|
||||
done
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or write your own menu.
|
||||
|
||||
### Rationale:
|
||||
|
||||
Your script uses a shell feature not supported by the shebang. Either rewrite the script to be portable, or change the shebang to explicitly require a shell like Bash. There is no simple substitution for a `select` loop, so either write your own using compatible constructs like `for` loops, or switch to a shell that supports them.

### Exceptions:
|
||||
|
||||
None
