[kopete]alias script?

Hi all. I want to make a script for kopete with figlet.
At the moment i've done a script called figlet.sh wich contains:
figlet $*
And i've added an alias in kopete: figlet /exec figlet.sh
So when i write "/figlet hello" in a chat window the system says:
_ _ _
| |__ ___| | | ___
| '_ \ / _ \ | |/ _ \
| | | | __/ | | (_) |
|_| |_|\___|_|_|\___/

But its a system message. How can I code it to send the "hello" string to the people im talking to?.
Is that possible?
Thx!

You could try using DCOP as follows:

dcop kopete KopeteIface messageContact "$contact" "`figlet.sh`"

However, I don't know how you'd go about figuring where the last message was sent to/is being sent to. Fire up kdcop and poke around the Kopete DCOP interface - I've been doing this for the past few days :P

I just asked this myself. Turns out '/help exec' says '/exec -o foo.sh' will give you the output into the channel.

hope that helps.
