How do I either pause, or pass answers to Jenkins execute shell script

This is also a bash question. I have a script that when run ./recompile it asks 3 questions, separately, 1 at a time.

The answers are as follows: 1, 1, y.

So I need jenkins to run my script, but to also answer the questions.

Jenkins has this execute shell box, which I take is basically a bash script entry point.

So I have set it to execute my script, but I don't know how to simulate the answers.

I did something like this

./recompile
1
1
y

and

./recompile && 1 && 1 && y

But it says 1 is not a command....

What bash command am I looking for to pass the parameters that will be asked after the script is ran?

EDIT

When the script is run, it should start off like this. 

    $ ./recompile

Choose the environment to recompile:  1) Dev  2) Stage  3) Prod ? 1
Use Watch mode?y
Will WATCH after dump completed. Use ctrl+c to exit

You are about to recompile Symfony DEV Environment, please verify the following settings:
------------------------------------------
- DEV
- clear cache
- install assets as symlinks
- watch assets, includes force dumping (use ctrl+c to exit)
Ready to run? y

---------------------------
running

You need to redirect STDIN into your script

$ echo "a
> b
> c" | sh a.sh
a
b
c
a  b  c

with this sort of bash script for a.sh

#!/bin/bash

echo "a"
read $a

echo "b"
read $b

echo "c"
read  $c

echo "a ${a} b ${b} c ${c}"
