I think a more ideal solution, less drastic to implement might be |
| 14 |
allowing 2 arguments to be passed. So you could do like |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
elog "" "A blank line precedes this one" |
| 17 |
elog "A blank line follow this one" "" |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Then maybe if a argument = "" it can be swapped out for echo :) |
