Script to select a file from a list
i m trying to write a script that will print all the txt files at /home/ directory
and will allow a selection of a file and then print the file name.

this is what i wrote so far:
Code:
echo "please select the file from the list "
list=$(ls -f *.txt  /home/)
array=( )
for machine in $list
do

at the end the output should be as so:
Code:
home/som# please select the file from the list
1.david.txt
2.vgersh99.txt
3.radoulov.txt
/home/som# 3
radoulov.txt
/home/som#

fbautostart

FBAUTOSTART(1)							fbautostart Manual						    FBAUTOSTART(1)

NAME

       fbautostart - Autostart all XDG applications

SYNOPSIS

       fbautostart [options]

DESCRIPTION

       fbautostart(1) is an XDG complaint startup tool. This will go through the directories set up by the spec, and start all applications that
       match it's current identifier. You may change that identifier with the FBXDG_DE env var.

       This tool has almost no library dependencies and was written to be smart about that sort of stuff. There is a greater then average chance
       that you will find a bug, since it is a from-scratch implementation of the .desktop spec. Pleas report bugs. Please.

FILES

       ~/.config/autostart
	   This folder contains the default user XDG dot-desktop files that will be run ( unless it's overridden by an ENV variable )

       /etc/xdg
	   This folder contains the default system XDG dot-desktop files that will be run ( unless it's overridden by an ENV variable )

OPTIONS

       Sadly, there are no flags in this particular release.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       XDG_CONFIG_HOME
	   The XDG root directory for the user's startup files, which may override the global startup files.

       XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
	   The root XDG directory, where global XDG files are maintained.

       FBXDG_DE
	   Development environment that we should act upon. This defaults to "FLUXBOX", since this is a fluxbox project, after all. Please note
	   this is case sensitive.

       FBXDG_EXEC
	   This dictates if we should execute the application that we've been told to or not. This is particularly useful for debugging the app.

       HOME
	   The location of one's home directory, such that ~/ will be expanded to /home/user/

EXAMPLE

	   fbautostart
