The first time you launch the PowerShell script, it will download all the prerequisite files in a temporary directory.
It will then open a new prompt window that allows you to run the actual Bash script. (see Usage)

Usage

Get the echo command

./file2echo.sh $FILE

Directly recreate a new file from the echo command

./file2echo.sh $FILE | bash > $NEW_FILE

Example

Taking a getIP.sh file with the following content:

#!/bin/sh

dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com A

Inside the terminal:

./file2echo.sh getIP.sh

Output:

echo -ne '#!/bin/sh\n\ndig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com A\n'
