9 years ago A !grep command is easy once we have:
- [ ] a concept of "standard input" for vlb commands;
- [ ] the pipe to connect them.
In the current (rc) implementation, this is not cool because commands write their results directly to the Cinch framework, so VikiLinkBot::Shell has no way to redirect them (i.e. the pipe is impossible). However, on the dev branch, commands are iterators that simply emit text without bothering where it lands (and it's VikiLinkBot::Shell's job to transmit it to Cinch), so piping is definitely possible, easy and handy. Will do.
It should be a good idea to implemente some grep functionnality!
