Line Select
Elevate your command-line pipelines using the Interactive Line Selector – a potent utility enabling interactive line selection from stdin. Seamlessly integrate, pause, select, and refine your pipeline, enhancing data processing precision.
Features
- Interactive Selection: Pause the pipeline's execution to manually select specific lines from the input stream.
- Seamless Integration: Easily integrate the Interactive Line Selector into your existing command-line pipelines.
- Optimized Workflow: Curate data on-the-fly for more accurate and meaningful results.
Usage
Incorporate the Interactive Line Selector into your pipeline:
<command producing input> | lineselect | <subsequent command>
Use arrow keys to navigate, press Space
to select/deselect lines, and press Enter
to proceed with the selected lines.
Example
Imagine you have a list of files in a directory and you want to selectively remove them using rm
. Instead of using a complex find command, you can utilize the Interactive Line Selector to streamline the process:
ls | lineselect | xargs rm
