Im trying to give a visual output for a file listing i have. What i want to be able to do is display a tick box beside each line from the file
I have thrown together the following zenity command but my main problem is my file listings can be quite long. From the command below i define the values by TRUE "" or FALSE ""
My question is can i read the contents and place them in the following command (or something similar) without having to make a massively long command
ans=$(zenity --list --text "Show List" --checklist --column "Pick" --column "List" FALSE "BLAH" TRUE "Blah" FALSE "Blah2" FALSE "Blah3" --separator=":"); echo $ans
Regards
Paul
# create an array with FALSE and lines from the file
unset list
while read -r line
do
list+=("FALSE")
list+=("$line")
done < data_file
# set some entries to TRUE
for entry in 0 2 5 11 12 19
do
list[entry]="TRUE"
done
# display the dialog
ans=$(zenity --list --text "Show List" --checklist --column "Pick" --column "List" "${list[@]}" --separator=":")
echo $ans
