Command to "choose" via terminal

[bananataffy]

so i have this java shell that i'm running via terminal, and it's giving me an option to "choose" from option [1], [2], and [3]. It leaves me at the ":" prompt and i'm trying to select any of the options 1-3. entering "1" (without the quotes) or "[1]" doesn't do anything. copying and pasting the entire line, for example "[1] Option 1" doesn't do anything either. i'm clueless here...

Can you give a specific example or post a screen shot? Have you tried just entering what option 1-3 is?

For example, say you want to choose option 1.

1: Yes
2: No
3: Exit

$ Yes

it looks like this:

i've tried to choose Door 1 by entering the following (without quotes): "1", "[1]", "[1] Door 1", and "Door 1". None work.

Try

"Door 1"

(with quotes) or

Door\ 1

Maybe the space is what's throwing the program off. Adding quotes or an escape character before the space might work. Other than that, I have no idea what it could be.

It's not a terminal issue. It's whatever the developer of the app implemented. It could be anything. A standard implementation would be to type just the number and then hit return. Clearly that didn't work though.
