This script parses the i3bar protocol and outputs it as a single line. It's for using i3-style bars like i3status-rust in dwm or similar window managers

i3bar-parse.sh

#!/bin/bash
# To use this pipe i3bar to stdin
# Example i3stauts-rs | ./i3bar-parse.sh

while read line; do
  echo "$line" | jq -r '.[].full_text' 2>/dev/null | tr '\n' ' ' | grep -v '^$'
done
