<lang rebol>menu: function [items][

selection: neg 1
;Task:
while [not? in? selection 1..size items][
Given a prompt and a list containing a number of strings of which one is to be selected, create a function that:
loop.with:'i items 'item -> print ~"|i+1|. |item|"

inp: input "Enter a number: "
* prints a textual menu formatted as an index value followed by its corresponding string for each item in the list;
if numeric? inp ->
* prompts the user to enter a number;
selection: to :integer inp
* returns the string corresponding to the selected index number.
]

print items \ selection-1
<br>
The function should reject input that is not an integer or is out of range by redisplaying the whole menu before asking again for a number. The function should return an empty string if called with an empty list.

For test purposes use the following four phrases in a list:
fee fie
huff and puff
mirror mirror
tick tock

;Note:
This task is fashioned after the action of the [http://www.softpanorama.org/Scripting/Shellorama/Control_structures/select_statements.shtml Bash select statement].

{{incorrect|Axe|The function should return an empty string if called with an empty list. Please also check if this could really used as a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subroutine function aka subroutine.]}}
In Axe, static data (such as strings) is laid out sequentially in memory. So the H in "HUFF" is the byte after the null terminator for "FIE". However, null terminators are only added to strings when they are stored with the store symbol →. strGet returns a pointer to the start of the nth null-terminated string in the data, which is why the strings must be laid out in memory correctly.

Out of the box Forth does not have lists. This version uses strings and a vector table, which arguably is more how one would do this task in Forth. It returns a nil string if a nil string is given otherwise the input string becomes the title of the menu.

=={{header|TI-83 BASIC}}==
TI-83 BASIC does not support lists of strings, so this works by accepting a string containing an arbitrary number of items separated by colons. If you want to use a different delimiter, change the colons on lines 2, 3, 6 and 7 to your symbol of choice.

The calculator's screen isn't big enough to display more than 7 (9 on the new C Silver Edition and CE calcs) options at a time, so the display scrolls to accommodate options if necessary. You won't be able to see options that have scrolled off the top of the screen, but they're still accessible from the input.

Although TI-BASIC ''can'' handle empty strings, there's no way to give it one through the Input function, so it doesn't have to worry about being "called with an empty list."

Input "",Str1 //input as ITEM 1:ITEM 2:ITEM 3...
":"+Str1+":→Str1
Σ(sub(Str1,X,1)=":",X,1,length(Str1→X
0→dim(L₁
For(Z,2,length(Str1
inString(Str1,":",Z-1
1+Ans+.01inString(Str1,":",Ans+1→L₁(1+dim(L₁
ᴇ2fPart(Ans→Z
End
seq(iPart(L₁(X))+.01(ᴇ2fPart(L₁(X))-iPart(L₁(X))),X,1,dim(L₁→L₁
Repeat A>0 and A<X
ClrHome
For(Z,1,dim(L₁
Disp " :"+sub(Str1,iPart(L₁(Z)),ᴇ2fPart(L₁(Z
Output(min(7,Z),1+(Z≤7),Z
End
Input A
End
Disp sub(Str1,iPart(L₁(A)),ᴇ2fPart(L₁(A

Output with <tt>FEE FIE:HUFF AND PUFF:MIRROR MIRROR:TICK TOCK</tt>

The language also has a Menu( command, but it doesn't really follow the requirements for the challenge (only up to 7 options allowed, no user input, option is selected using the arrow keys instead of by entering a number, etc)

=={{header|UNIX Shell}}==

This example uses the [http://www.softpanorama.org/Scripting/Shellorama/Control_structures/select_statements.shtml Bash select statement], but Bash did not invent this feature. The ''select'' loop comes originally from the [[Korn Shell]], and appears in some other shells. This loop always continues to read menu choices until the script breaks the loop, or the standard input reaches end of file (EOF).

* If the user enters a blank line, the ''select'' loop repeats the list of choices. This is the only way to print the list again. An invalid choice only repeats the prompt, not the list.

Our ''choose'' function wraps a ''select'' loop. This wrapper implements the task requirement to provide an empty string from an empty list of choices. It also breaks the ''select'' loop after the first good choice.

{{incorrect|es|The function should return an empty string if called with an empty list. Please also check if this could really used as a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subroutine function aka subroutine.]}}
