BASH Menu Library

History

I just wanted a portable menu library. While there are many out there that do simple menu selection options I required one that also provided formatted panel input fields.

I couldn't find any menu applications that provided full screen panel input that worked unchanged on Linux/AIX/Solaris, so I needed this.

I no longer maintain this as I only use Linux now so started using the GTK text libraries for personal use at home. And then just reverted to command line for everything again :-) as command line is so much easier.

Requirements

This requires BASH as it makes extensive use of bash string functions. It will not work under sh, csh or ksh; it requires bash.

Download and Documentation

• documentation on the menu library
• The tar.gz shell scripted menu application.

Support notes

Unsupported. Use if you think it is usefull to you, no enhancements are likely.
