[ros-users] Error in Publishing the composite messages

[Tully Foote]

Hi Soonhac,

rostopic pub uses yaml syntax on the command line.
http://www.ros.org/wiki/rostopic#rostopic_pub
http://www.ros.org/wiki/ROS/YAMLCommandLine you need to put all the things
you want to publish into yaml.

It looks like you are hoping that it will republish data from another
topic.  That sort of behavior is very ill defined and way to complicated for
just yaml syntax.  To do that you will have to write a node to receive the
data from both topics synchronize them if desired and then resend it,
filling in the other fields as applicable.
