Running .sh file why does it pause with a : waiting for user input before continuing to run?

Question

When executing a .sh file that contains multiple commands, on multiple lines, it pauses, with a colon :. At that point, it only continues if I press the spacebar and the letter q. Is there any way to force it to continue running, without those pauses?

What is the content of the script file? I think there is a call to the `read` command waiting for an input. — Carlo Corradini, Feb 05 '23 at 16:28
Hi @CarloCorradini, The script file executes multiple AWS commands, but none of them call a read command. — Matthew Walk, Feb 05 '23 at 21:46
Can you share the script? Without any information it's hard to understand what is the possible cause :/ — Carlo Corradini, Feb 05 '23 at 23:20
Hi @CarloCorradini, I've appended a redacted version of the script in the description above. It's basically the same command, run 31 times, on different QuickSight dashboards. — Matthew Walk, Feb 06 '23 at 23:38
It's not shell, it's `aws`. Dupe https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60122188/how-to-turn-off-the-pager-for-aws-cli-return-value and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60346608/aws-cli-output-automatically-being-sent-to-vi#60356209 — dave_thompson_085, Feb 06 '23 at 23:47
The `:` is printed by `less` (your pager) as started by aws; the shell has nothing to do with it. — Charles Duffy, Feb 06 '23 at 23:56

Running .sh file why does it pause with a : waiting for user input before continuing to run?
