Description Ondřej Žižka 2011-07-28 16:02:55 UTC

In AS 7 CLI (interactive mode), you can type `batch` and write few commands, which are done in batch after you type `run-batch`.

Would be nice to have this in RHQ CLI, too.
(I'm not asking for other functionality like AS 7 CLI's rollback.)

It would people allow to copy and paste multiline constructs like

   for( var i = ... ){
       ...
   }

without need to append \ to the end of the line.

Thanks for considering.

Workaround:

Just found a trick for CLI.

If you want to have a script but still want to be able to copy it to interactive CLI before https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=726446 is implemented (if ever :),
then you can do this:

try { // \
   ...  // No need for \ inside a block
} // \
catch { // \
   ...
}

And because you don't need \ inside the root block, you can simply do

{ // \
   // whatever ...
}

So you can e.g. copy'n'paste whole function bodies, while only cluttering it's first line.


HTH,
Ondra
