Lita::Handlers::Substitution

Shell-like command substitution for the Lita chat bot.

Allows you to use the output of commands as arguments to another command. Hypothetical example:

You: lita hello
Lita: Hello, World!
You: lita upcase qwerty
Lita: QWERTY
You: lita upcase $(hello)
Lita: HELLO, WORLD!

You can get the most power by using it with lita-key-value:

You: lita kv set text $(get some text)
Lita: Set text to Here is some text.
You: lita upcase $(kv get text)
Lita: HERE IS SOME TEXT.

At first, see the documentation for Lita: http://docs.lita.io/
