So after testing it for a day, I found a problem. Specifically, if you're
using annotations on replies my simple script broke. The reason is that the
arguments ended up being:
[...] draft filename -idanno N
Where "N" was the file descriptor to write the annotation to; my previous
iteration assumed the last argument to post was the filename.
I ended up having to do this code (complete script appended at the end):
find_draftmessage() {
skip_next=0
for arg; do
case "$arg" in
-al* | -filt* | -wi* | -client | -idanno | -server | \
-partno | -saslmaxssf | -saslmech | -user | -por* | \
-file* | -mhl* | -mt* | -cr* | -lib* | -oauth)
skip_next=1
;;
-*) skip_next=0;
;;
*)
if [ "$skip_next" -eq 0 ]; then
draftmessage="$arg"
return 0
fi
skip_next=0
;;
esac
done
echo "Cannot find draft message name in argument list"
exit 1
}
I am just wondering out loud if there is a better way than putting knowledge
in the script of whether a particular switch takes an argument. It just
seems brittle to me. Ideas? Other approaches?
