I need to read a value from the terminal in a bash script. I would like to be able to provide a default value that the user can change.

# Please enter your name: Ricardo^

In this script the prompt is “Please enter your name: ” the default value is “Ricardo” and the cursor would be after the default value. Is there a way to do this in a bash script?
