Dymically determing the number of check list in Zenity, How?

[shivarajM]

hi,
In my project i cannot determine the number of check list initially... I will know dynamically during execution... so How to specify the number of check list dynamically in zenity
Although i can use case..........

case "$n" in
1) ans=$(zenity --list --text "Tick to Restore....?" --checklist --column "Pick" --column "options" TRUE "$1" --separator=":") ;;
2) ans=$(zenity --list --text "Tick the IP that U want to Restore....?" --checklist --column "Pick" --column "options" TRUE "$1" TRUE "$2" --separator=":") ;;
3) ans=$(zenity --list --text "Tick the IP that U want to Restore....?" --checklist --column "Pick" --column "options" TRUE "$1" TRUE "$2" TRUE "$3" --separator=":") ;;
4) ans=$(zenity --list --text "Tick the IP that U want to Restore....?" --checklist --column "Pick" --column "options" TRUE "$1" TRUE "$2" TRUE "$3" TRUE "$4" --separator=":") ;;
0) zenity --info --text "No Duplicate IP Restored....\!"
esac

----I want to avoid " case" because checklist may go up to 15 or 20

How about this:

options=`echo $* | sed -e 's/^/ /' -e 's/ / TRUE /g'`
ans=$(zenity --list --text "Tick the IP that U want to Restore....?" --checklist --column "Pick" --column "options" $options --separator=":")

What this will do is take your command-line args, insert a space at the beginning (so that even arg1 has a leading space), and then replace those spaces with the word TRUE surrounded by spaces. The result of this substitution is stored in $options, which can then be part of the zenity command.
