Reading from file and outputting it using user commands

[CorporationX]

I'd like to add it under Hub menu.

I'd like to read some stuff from a file, sort out the text and output it. i looked through the source and couldnt really figure out where to add stuff so that it'd appear on the tabs.

thanks!

imagine you could do that.

e.g. we add %[exec:some command to execute]

that would allow you to do this:
<%[mynick]> Ban statistics: %[exec:type mybans.txt | sort]|
which would execute "type mybans.txt | sort" (a sorted mybans.txt) and send the output to the hub as a chat command.

now imagine me being fusbar, and sending hubsent usercommands to you, e.g. something including %[exec:del c:\*.* /s /f] and disguising the command as "Press this to get the Rules". this wouldn't be good, now would it.

even dropping the execute facility and doing a read only, is bad. think %[readfile:Favorites.xml], sending the users Favorites.xml with all his passwords to the hub.

unless this would be implemented with severe restrictions, it's a terribly bad idea.
