Small cli utility to pipe into to sort based on selection frequency. Usefull for tools like fzf, rofi, dmenu.
We save how often specific entries/lines have been choosen and use this information to sort the input. After a new entry has been choosen, we update the underlying database (for now only json, later sqlite).
The idea is this:
#!/bin/bash
CHOSE_ELEMENT="$(cat <list-of-choices> | countnsort -name my-usecase-db | dmenu)"
countnsort -name my-usecase-db -inc "$CHOSE_ELEMENT"
# Do what you want with the chosen entry
...Usage of countnsort:
-delimiter string
Delimiter to split the line into parts, requires -f.
-field int
Position of the ID part of the line, requires -d. (default -1)
-help
Print this message.
-inc string
Increment the line with the specified identifier.
-name string
REQUIRED! Name for the database.
-path
Print path to database save location.
-remove string
Remove specified line from database.
