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

# 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.
