I am hoping to create a command template of sorts that passes the command itself as a value in a urlfetch. I’m using a custom api endpoint to return a clip with a particular tag. I am planning to create a command that will serve as the template to create subsequent ones. I could probably use an eval to separate the command from the ! and populate the URL parameter or even instruct users to pass a second argument, but I first wanted to find out if it’s even possible to reference the command itself within a command.
The goal is to have something along the lines of $(urlfetch http://api.endpoint.com/stuffhere?tag=$(command)
where $(command) is !command without the ! (or with if possible, I could reformat the tag at the endpoint to add the exclamation point)
It’s not possible at this point, for example $(query) contains the text that comes after the command name.
I’m not 100% sure how a variable such as $(command) would be useful tho’, as you can simply type the command name where the variable would go instead. If you see something I’m missing, do you mind elaborating?
Thank you for the response. It’s not something I imagine would be particularly useful to many. I was looking for a shortcut to generating commands based off of a template. It’s far from necessary as the end goal is easily done through other methods.
I was just searching for whether or not referencing the command name were at all possible and provided hardly enough information to explain why.
