# checkline: checkbox line picker from stdin to stdout
Example:
```sh
printf "%s\n%s\n%s\n" alpha bravo charlie > example.txt
cat example.txt | checkline
```
You should see each line with a checkbox and text:
```txt
[ ] alpha
[ ] bravo
[ ] charlie
```
Move up and down in the list by typing arrow keys.
Check or uncheck any checkbox by typing space or return, such as:
```txt
[x] alpha
[ ] bravo
[x] charlie
```
Check each line that you want, then type ESC to finish.
The command outputs each line that you checked:
```txt
alpha
charlie
```
## Install
Install checkline as a typical Rust crate:
```sh
cargo install checkline
```
If people want other ways, such as with package managers, we welcome help to create these ways.
## Purpose
The purpose of this command is a simple picker, that is easy to use, and
that work wells in on the command line such as within a pipe.
The purpose isn't intended to handle very long lines, or very long inputs.
## Projects with similarities
`markline` that's the same kind of tool plus markers:
`vipe` that can pipe in and out of `$EDITOR`:
`peco` simplistic interactive filtering tool:
`percol` adds interactive selection to the traditional pipe concept.
`canything` interactive grep tools:
`zaw` zsh-friendly interactive grep tool:
`fzf` interactive grep tool written in Go language.
## Settings
On some systems, you may need to set your localization environment variables.
Example:
```sh
export LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
export LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
export LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
export LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
export LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
```
