use yad to show list of individually selectable names from a text file

[giles holt]

Hi,

I've had a few attempts at this but so far with no luck. I've outputted the list of files from a directory into a text file, every line in the text file represents a different file, I want yad to show the file names from the text file and have them selectable, with those that are selected to be input into a secondary text file.

If possible I would like to be able to select the files rather than check them via checklist

many thanks,

Giles

cat filelist | yad --list --column=filename --multiple --separator='' > filelist.new

Wow that was substantially simpler than what I’ve been trying and works beautifully, i had been using cat but was also using xargs and awk commands, i massively over complicated things.

Thanks for the help (and incredibly fast reply)
