# SourceDialog

SourceDialog is a script you can source from your own scripts to easily
create TUI forms using only pure Bash.

![example of dialog](https://repository-images.githubusercontent.com/966361037/940581b7-edfc-48ca-a55a-5dc95aa3de30 "Source Dialog")

I'm *not* the author of this tool but have used it a few times. As I can no longer
find it anywhere online anymore, I decided to make a repo for it on GitHub.

Antonio Macchi introduced the tool with the following message entitled `bash - dialog boxes in mixed
form` in comp.os.linux.development.apps on 2008-11-07

```
Hi,
I have written a software that permits to put some objects (like
buttons, inputboxes and lists) freely around the screen, and interact
with it in a simple manner

It consists in a 20K-file, included in a bash-script using 'source' builtin
So I have called it 'SourceDialog'
Using this approach, became possible to interact with user-defined
variables and functions

If someone wants to take-a-look...

Every feedback, suggestion, bug and insult are welcome.

Thanks for your attention
bye
