Capture output from program into LUA varaible?

[rdrdrdrd95]

First of all this is great! Fantastic work.

I want to replicate this functionality in TCL Expect:

#first step is to query the count from the program to build a loop count
#we use the -re tag to capture the site count from the output buffer after the token "Count: " and extend to the end of the whole output
expect $prompt
send -- "get_count\n"
expect -re {Count: (.*)\n.*}

set count $expect_out(1,string)
sleep 1
#sleeps are just to ensure we dont over-run the CLI

#we do not need to expect here since it was part of the last regex
#now we configure the output path
send -- "set_log_path $log_path\n"

Is this currently possible in the go implementation?

Thanks!

No, it can not yet, now.

I would like to implement the feature capturing output someday.

If you make the CONOUT$ buffer available to the LUA as a global this would be fairly trivial to process.

On v0.8.0, Implement the shot(N) function to capture the N-lines of the console buffer.
