Exec Shell command with multiline output

[MUD]

It's been way over 10 years since I've used tcl and eggdrops, but I was trying to get a shell command to execute and display the results that outputs more then one line in the bash but not in a channel, right now I only get the first line output and stops there. Can anyone help remind me of what I am doing =) TIA

Code: Select all

bind pub -|- !ftpwho do_ftpwho

proc do_ftpwho {nick uhost hand chan text} {
    set my_ftpwho [exec ftpwho]
        puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :$ftpwho"}
}

[caesar]

if the output has multiple lines, then split it in multiple lines.

Code: Select all

bind pub -|- !ftpwho do_ftpwho

proc do_ftpwho {nick uhost hand chan text} {
	set my_ftpwho [exec ftpwho] 
	foreach line [split $my_ftpwho \n] {
		puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :$line"
	}
}

Something like this should do what you wanted.
