Go pattern? Search buffered chan

gistfile1.go

// This is getting out of hand, probably a bad idea.

func (c *Client) searchBuffer(command string) (message *irc.Message, err error) {
	buffer := make(chan *irc.Message, cap(c.buffer))

Fill:
	for {
		select {
		case message = <-c.buffer:
			if message.Command == command {
				break Fill
			}
			// Put message back in our temporary buffer
			select {
			case buffer <- message:
			default:
				err = ErrBufferExceeded
			}
		default:
			break Fill
		}
	}

	close(buffer)

	for m := range buffer {
		select {
		case c.buffer <- m:
		default:
			err = ErrBufferExceeded
			return
		}
	}
	return
}
