using fmli to create menu's
I am currently having a problem creating a dynamic Menu that reads in from a file and appends this Menu list with an exit menu item.
the syntax I am using to create the dynamic Menu is
menu="$ARG1 Host names"
`cat Hosts.data | regex '^(''.*)$0$' '
name="$m0"
action=open Menu.Login.mnu $ARG1 $m0
1) This created a menu that had 3 columns, I only wanted 1 column
2) I tried to add an Exit Menu item to the list but it creates one after each Menu list. e.g.
host1
exit
host2
exit
host3
exit

getitems
getitems(1F) FMLI Commands getitems(1F)
NAME
getitems - returns a list of currently marked menu items
SYNOPSIS
getitems [delimiter_string]
DESCRIPTION
The getitems function returns the value of lininfo if defined, else it returns the value of the name descriptor, for all currently marked
menu items. Each value in the list is delimited by delimiter_string. The default value of delimiter_string is newline.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: A sample output of getitems command.
The done descriptor in the following menu definition file executes getitems when the user presses ENTER (note that the menu is multise-
lect):
Menu="Example"
multiselect=TRUE
done=`getitems ":" | message`
name="Item 1"
action=`message "You selected item 1"`
name="Item 2"
lininfo="This is item 2"
action=`message "You selected item 2"`
name="Item 3"
action=`message "You selected item 3"`
If a user marked all three items in this menu, pressing ENTER would cause the following string to be displayed on the message line:
Item 1:This is item 2:Item 3
NOTES
Because lininfo is defined for the second menu item, its value is displayed instead of the value of the name descriptor.
