Hi all,

please help me, I'm getting crazy while trying to find a solution to some of
my projects, regarding items implementation in Mystic...

I really like to build little scripts in BASH shell, with the hope to find a way to correctly output them from BBS external commands exec.

I made a batch to retrieve latest 10 RSS feeds/tweets from my BBS Twitter account, dump in a file log, and pipe/parse/colorize the CAT output with clide package, to highlight words and expressions as I like.

The problem is: I made a main menu item, recalling the external shell script
I talked about before - the command is exec but I would like to clean all the screen BEFORE that, and the output screen keep on screen, without immediately escape... if I disable redraw, the output keeps on screen, but I can't escape anymore to any menu.

I really hope I've been (almost) clear in this problem... I've done all this work to maintain customized-colourized CAT output from shell, of a log, etc.

Hey Indrid!
Could you '(GT) Display line of text' with the data '|CL' in the line before you display your file? I have this a few times on my board

Oh dear rEApZ! Is this thing really working - I'll try it immediately, thanks and stay ready for others doubts/problems! * I know, I know... please have patience! I swear, before asking, I search and study a lot by myself...

PS. And for quitting the screen by keypress, how can I implement this in a shell output imported in BBS...

Hey Indrid, I hope the |CL works! I'm not sure what you are looking for in
this one. Did you want to exit back to the BBS after executing a shell
script? Or did you want to exit back to the menu after a keypress after displaying a file?
Cheers,
Steve

Really thanks mate, you've been really kind driving me to the *at the end* simple solution > |CL works greatly as sub-command and my problem was that I didn't know about 'DISPLAY A TEXT LINE' function - I've solved putting a
second post-sub-command with |PN as DT, when I need it for problems regarding BASH-BBS transition with some scripts.

Just use the 'read' command.

Thanks Gryphon, I'll try READ too. I've used it in the past for interactive choices in BASH scripts...
