RE: [misterhouse-users] Adding Text_Cmd?

[Bruce W. <br...@mi...>]

Sure, I think I can cook up a Text_Cmd object pretty quick.   Will let you
know.

Bruce (or anyone else that can do this),
   I took a look at the Voice_Cmd.pm file, and came to a realization that
copying and modifying this to work as a Text_Cmd would take me a while...
   If you will, I'd like to see this before the enxt release. I know this is
REALLY close, but if it can be pulled off, I'll try to modify internet_in.pl
to use the new commands, as well.
   What I'd like to see is the ability to run commands from telnet, IM,
MHSend that are globally configured and/or coded. We have this with voice
commands, but are limited by the VR software. If we add text commands, which
will basically be the same thing as voice commands, but allow wildcards
instead of lists of possibilities, as well as no VR integration, so a little
less overhead. Idealy, it should work just like Voice_Cmd otherwise.
   I'd like to be able to setupo a command like this:
imsend screenname: text
or
imsend -sSCREENNAME -pPGM text (like a DOS or Linux command line command)
If this was create with:
$t_imsend = new Text_Cmd('imsend [*]');
...then I can use the parameters and parse it in code. The above will work
well, and I'm wondering if this would work as well:
$t_imsend = new Text_Cmd('imsend [*]: [*]');
If the above could work, then it's only be called if it was a match. Maybe
it would be helpful (in a later release) to allow for regular expressions
within the brackets?
I know this is probably too much for the next release... I *know* I couldn't
do it by the next release, givien my inexperience with Perl, and the limited
time I have. I figure, it doesn't hurt to ask! :-)
Thanks!
Steve
