Title:
  user input only works on the end of commands

Status in CLI Companion:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  While adding more commands to the CLI Companion dictionary I noticed
  something. Commands that require a user to input a variable only works
  if the variable is at the end.

  So this command (in .clicompanion format) runs great. Because the user argument is at the end of the command.
  apropos :command/package : search the manual page names and descriptions

  So take this entry (it is in the .clicompanion format)
  cat file1 file2  | sort | uniq > file3 : file1 file2 file3 : combine, sort and remove duplicates from 2 files

  The user needs to enter file1, file2, file3.

  The current code:
              text = Companion.get_info(self, text)
              page_widget.feed_child(cmnd+" "+text+"\n") #send command w/ input

  'text' being the users input that is returned from the Get Info Dialog
  Box. As you can see it is just added to the end. This works great for
  a lot of commands. But not all. If possible I would like to come up
  with a solution that handles user variables throughout, as well as
  command flags.

  
  What should happen:
  The user can enter a command like this for their 'command dictionary'

  cat %s %s  | sort | uniq > %s

  When the command is ran they are prompted for the 3 variables.
