Hi P.,
imapfilter provides some functions for convenience, such as
'pipe_from(command)', which might help you - have a look at the
imapfilter_config man page [1].
I used imapfilter for quite a long time and had this function in
my config file:
function capture(cmd, raw)
local f = assert(io.popen(cmd, 'r'))
local s = assert(f:read('*a'))
f:close()
if raw then return s end
s = string.gsub(s, '^%s+', '')
s = string.gsub(s, '%s+$', '')
s = string.gsub(s, '[\n\r]+', ' ')
return s
end
It's a general purpose capture function for shell command output.
Unfortunately, I found it a long time ago in the deeps of the web, so I
can't give credit to the original author. Anyway, you use it like this:
password = capture('pass email/account|head -n1'),
Of course, put your own password command between the quotes :)
HTH,
Markus
