Thread: bash dialog --checklist

if use dialog --checklist, how use output show me chosen item strings instead of tag numbers? suppose have file file.txt random content. can come with:

code:

#!/bin/bash    n=1  pkg in $(cat file.txt)               echo "$n $pkg off" >> /tmp/output.txt          n=$[n+1]  done    dialog --checklist "choose item:" 80 40 20 \  $(cat /tmp/output.txt)    #commented check on script  #rm /tmp/output.txt

now how use dialog output example echo items belong tags checked in dialog checklist? example, file.txt contains 5 lines "var1" "var2" ... "var5", how line printed says "you've chosen var2 , var3" when checked 2 , 3?

doesn't man-page 'dialog' wrt query?

not have 'dialog' installed on system, have zenity. perhaps similar. zenity returns choice(s), string, output when running command. string may need parsed.
