Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting how to make menu of result from egrep Post 302227515 by era on Thursday 21st of August 2008 10:31:09 AM

Try this.

Code:
#!/bin/sh
OLDIFS=$IFS
IFS='
'
select pick in $(... whatever commands ...); do
  echo "$pick"
done
IFS=$OLDIFS

By manipulating $IFS we tell the shell to use different rules for splitting up a list of arguments; setting IFS to a newline means split on newlines. You could put other characters, such as colon, in there as well. (In your case I imagine you would want to ditch everything before the first colon with cut -d: -f2- instead, though.)

NAME
nngrab - news retrieval by keyword (nn) SYNOPSIS
nngrab [ -c ] keyword DESCRIPTION
nngrab invokes nn on all USENET articles whose subject (or keyword) field(s) contain an instance of keyword. nngrab is a fast equivalent for: nn -mxX -s/keyword all For example, nngrab tesla will retrieve items concerning Nikola Tesla. Keyword case is ignored unless -c is specified, and the keyword can be a regular expressions (escaped to avoid conflicts with the shell). For example, nngrab "n.*tesla" The range of search includes all newsgroups on the system, including ones which are unsubscribed. FILES
$db/subjects subject database SEE ALSO
nn(1), nnspew(8), egrep(1) NOTES
nngrab can be much faster than the equivalent command shown above, if the tertiary news subject database generated by the nnspew(8) daemon exists. To enable the faster operation, nnspew must be executed regularly by cron. nngrab uses egrep(1) to scan the subject database, so if you are not running fast egrep (GNU-style) this is all for naught. nngrab will use a subject database generated by nnspew independent of its age. Thus, if you stop running nnspew, remember to remove the subjects file as well. BUGS
Under version 6.4 onwards, search of the "Keywords:" field is not supported. Search on name is not possible either. AUTHOR
