pass password thru a filter on way to clipboard?

[Tobias Girstmair]

Patching pass to accept a line number with show isn't much work. I've included

a patch (as attachment, because I don't trust my webmail to not mangle it),
which adds -nN and --line=N (with N being the line number) to only show a
specific line. (Maybe this could be merged? It would be useful in a lot of
cases)

Hi, 
you can  also just use the show command and pipe it through the standard tool chain of your shell. If you are using X, you can then pipe it to the X clipboard via xclip. 

pass show XYZ | head -n 1 | tr -d '\n' | sed 's/ //g' |  xclip -selection clipboard

A little bit formatting noise, but it works. It would be nice to directly specify the line, which should be shown by pass show. 

Regards, 
Till
