Macro for wrapping input lines

[stefanbringuier]

Does anyone have some thoughts on a macro to wrap lammps input script lines with command(lmp,line), something along the lines of:

macro command(lmp,lines)
    lmpcmds = quote
        for l in $(lines)
            command($(lmp),l)
        end
    end
    return lmpcmds
end

In particular, say we already have an input script we want to use, so we read it in and wrap it with the macro and then add additional commands when that are needed.

Sounds reasonable, do you want to open a PR for this?

Yep, will work on it.

Tried to give this a try but seems there is some async behavior with LMP(), or at least I think this is the issue since its spawning a lammps instance for each command before it fails:

Note the same example works fine when using the standard approach, ex, command(lmp,lammps-input-line). The digest(example) function call just formats a string with into a Vector{String} and removes \n and \t etc.

command can now parse multiline statements. Maybe that's enough?
