Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Imholz, John J." <>]

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I see the need to write some gsh scripts with 
loops and conditionals.  Collapsing them into one line really hurts 
maintainability.

It would be very useful if gsh was BeanShell + Grouper (looks like that's the 
design intent of BeanShell.)

I'm sure you are right. GSH doesn't have any parsing capability of its own 
-it just passes each line to bean shell - so, in order not to break what is 
there, we would have to introduce additional syntax to allow multi-line 
commands e.g. use a \ at the end of any line that continues, build up the 
string and pass to bean shell when we get a line not ending with \
