Equivalent of pick command in linux

Question

OS: Linux Mint 14

Is there an equivalent of the pick command available in Linux? Pick command is the one where for each given argument, it asks yes/no and prints the selection to stdout. This script is commonly described in unix books (unix power tools).

Answer 1

That utility is just a little shell script, not – as far as I know – anything that is regularly shipped with Unix systems or Linux distributions.

You can find it in the Examples section on O'Reilly's site: description, script itself. Save it to a file somewhere in your $PATH and make it executable and you're ready to go.
