captureOutput

captureOutput (triggerExpression, processingFunction)

captureOutput creates a temporary rule to capture the next occurrence of a message. When a message matching the trigger expression is received, the processing function is called and the temporary rule is removed and discarded. This function is intended to be used with sendPopupTable to allow an operator to submit a command and see the results in a tabular format. See the sample rules showJobs in the example section and the processing function formatJobOutput it calls, which is shown in sendPopupTable.
