[new feature] using espeak to say log

[eschultze]

I have been using the bot like this

python pokecli.py -cf configs/config.json | tee LOG

On another terminal I run

tail -f LOG | while read line ; do echo $line | grep -oE ".*A wild.*appeared.*" | cut -d' ' -f2-9| espeak ; done

Every time "A wild $POKEMON appears" it says it using espeak

Does anyone would like to integrate this with the bot? maybe using another language... I can help if I'm able to, but my python skills are very bad :(

Not too sure how this would be handled on a headless machine, but this surely is an interesting approach to alerting the user ;F

Don't think this is really necessary, you can whip up a quick shell script to do this:

#!/bin/bash
filename="$1"
message="$2"
tail -f $filename | egrep --line-buffered $message | while read line 
do
    espeak $line
done 

Run it with:
./script [logfile path] [message to look for]

I don't think this is really required, we can just use notify-send in linux distros to notify about new pokemons but saying out loud, might not be required at all :)

@eschultze It doesn't look like anyone is willing to help out. How would you like to proceed? Do you want to give it a go yourself?

It looks to me like the shell scripting for this is A) easy, and B) done!

I'd say this can be closed, and if the functionality is still really desired, I suggest you offer up a PR and the devs can decide to include it or not.

Sorry for the delay. I was going to close it as well.

Thanks for the reviews and comments.
