[tcljava-user] '|' as a separator of distinct commands

[liobod t. <lio...@gm...>]

Hello world,

Sorry if my topic is irrelevant considering this list.
In such case, you may gently tell me where this post would be more
appropriate!

I'm trying to mock some network equipments (Cisco, Juniper, Whatever, ...)
shell on on a linux shell.
My problem is the '|' character :
  - on most of those equipments, '|' is considered as an arg of a command
  - on a linux shell, '|' is a separator of distinct commands

I though tcl could help me to jump over this issue.
After i have installed tcl-8.4.13-4.el5.x86_64.rpm, I did some scripting
through tclsh, tclshrc with no success.

By now, I'm still digging a full java solution trying to recreate a console
from scratch based on jacl.
I've been playing with
http://www.ensta-paristech.fr/~diam/tcl/online/Using_Tcl_in_Java-20010106.html
I did compile (except ConsoleThread.safeEvalCommand) and run it but i
cannot figure out how insert my custom commands.

If any of you did face my need and/or this particular issue or found an
alternative solution, i'd be glad to get some return on experience.

In one word, i'm afraid to face a dead-and problem soon.
And before i get completely stuck, i wonder if some of you guys could give
me a track...

thanks.
