read -p 'Input something > ' one_thing

while true; do
  read -p 'Input something else > ' another_thing

  # Write some code to check if the requirements are met
  # Let's say in this case they are when the variable `thing_to_work` equals `done`

  if [[ "${thing_to_work}" == 'abcde' ]]; then
    break # Exit the loop
  else
    echo 'The requirements were not met, so the loop will start again'
  fi
done
