I need the Bash code for select file in a set of files. I use something like this

find . -type f -name \*.txt

to locate the set of files I want to work with. After that I would want select only the files chosen by the user to make something.

P.S. I need to do it without the function 'select' if is possible.

Can anybody help me? Thank you.

This sounds like a programming question more than a user one - maybe more appropriate for Stack Overflow? Beyond that, can you explain a little more what you want to happen? You want to use the find command to show all the files and then let the user trim the selections? – Telemachus Nov 17 '11 at 0:41
What exactly are you asking for here? You will need to write a script that presents the files to the user and accepts input back. – Paul Nov 17 '11 at 0:43
