If I make an alias + for fred called 'george' is george a multiline command? I think the answer is yes. + If you want a multi-line synonym for a command that isn't multiline, do it like + example.py does. If the answer is no, then I need to rework StatementParser.parse() Changelog Items: - if self.default_to_shell is true, then redirection and piping is now properly passed to the shell, previously it was truncated - object passed to do_* methods has changed. It no longer is the pyparsing object, it's a new Statement object. A side effect of this is that we now have a clean interface between the parsing logic and the rest of cmd2. If we need to change the parser in the future, we can do it without breaking anything. The parser is now self.statement_parser instead of self.command_parser. - input redirection no longer supported. Use the load command instead. - submenus now call all hooks, it used to just call precmd and postcmd -- cmd2 ignores identchars. The standard library cmd uses those characters to split the first "word" of the input, but cmd2 hasn't used those for a while, and the new parsing logic parses on whitespace, which has the added benefit of full unicode support, unlike cmd or prior versions of cmd2. - |
