* Package name : selector Version : 1.1.6 Upstream Author : Francois Fleuret <franc...@fleuret.org> * URL : http://www.idiap.ch/~fleuret/software.html#selector * License : GPL3 Programming Lang: C Description : A simple command line utility for dynamic file search and shell history search selector is a command line utility for interactive real-time pattern matching. It reads the content of the specified files, and as the user types a list of strings separated by ";" (or a regexp), the display is updated in real time to show only the lines containing all the said strings (or matching the regexp). This command was mainly designed as a way to search efficiently in the shell history, for which it is substantially better than the standard readline ^R binding. With the -v option, it injects the selected line into the tty input buffer, hence allowing the user to edit the line and execute it as a standard command. Selector is also a handy tool to test regexps, or to display menus with many possible choices. For the latter, the -x option allows to specify a label delimiter: the part of each line before that character will appear during the selection, but only the part after that character will be returned. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
