README
# Line Select
[](https://github.com/urbanogilson/lineselect/actions/workflows/rust.yml)
[](https://crates.io/crates/lineselect)

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
# Installation

```bash
cargo install lineselect
```

# Acknowledgments
This project builds upon the fantastic work of the following projects:
- [Clap](https://github.com/clap-rs/clap) - A full featured, fast Command Line Argument Parser for Rust.
- [Dialoguer](https://github.com/console-rs/dialoguer) - Rust utility library for nice command line prompts and similar things.
- [Colored](https://github.com/colored-rs/colored) - Coloring terminal so simple you already know how to do it!
## Previous Implementation
This idea has been implemented before by [chfritz/lineselect](https://github.com/chfritz/lineselect) using JavaScript. Our project aims to provide an option in Rust with a single binary.
