How can I make an “are you sure” prompt in a Windows batchfile?

Question

I have a batch file that automates copying a bunch of files from one place to the other and back for me. Only thing is as much as it helps me I keep accidentally selecting t

Answer 1

Open terminal. Type the following

echo>sure.sh
chmod 700 sure.sh

Paste this inside sure.sh

#!\bin\bash

echo -n 'Are you sure? [Y/n] '
read yn

if [ "$yn" = "n" ]; then
    exit 1
fi

exit 0

Close sure.sh and type this in terminal.

alias sure='~/sure&&'

Now, if you type sure before typing the command it will give you an are you sure prompt before continuing the command.

Hope this is helpful!
