Is it possible to exclude channels when using -s all? #27

Closed jbl-proglove closed 4 years ago

jbl-proglove commented 4 years ago

Hi there,

thanks for the nice cli! I was wondering: is it possible to use the -s flag to exclude a channel? I want to setup two windows, one running slack-cli -s some-channel and another one using slack-cli -s all -s !some-channel.

The !some-channel is just an example for a negation of course. I want to display everything but the stuff from some-channel.

Thanks in advance and cheers,

Julius

Hi @jbl-proglove! I think you can solve this problem by taking advantage of other unix tools. Would the following work for you?

slack-cli -s all | grep --invert-match "@some-channel"

I'll close this issue now, feel free to reopen if you think the proposed solution does not properly address the problem.
