Am I dense, or is it impossible to print multi-line strings (akin to
:windows) to the ratpoison minibuffer from the command line (I am
using :echo)?
Along the lines of
$rp -c echo\ $(echo -e foo\nbar)
I think it is choking because you can't get \n characters in **argv
(bash is stripping it?)?
If this is the case, perhaps we should add ability to do ~ this:
$echo -e echo\ foo\nbar | rp -c stdin
I guess you could do
$FH=$$; echo -e echo\ foo\nbar > /tmp/$$; rp -c source\ $FH
but that's rather ugly and needs disk access. Likewise FIFOs would be ugly.
Any thoughts?
