cmdfile

cmdfile runs annoying commands automatically.

Docs

Installation

Run python -m pip install cmdfile in your terminal.

Usage

You can use cmdfile as a command, or as a module.

Example for using as a command:

> python -m cmdfile build
Hello

You can specify cmdfile filename with the following: python -m cmdfile tablename filename

(By default, if you simply run python -m cmdfile, it will run the main table of the cmdfile file)

This will run the hello table of the cmdfile, note that the cmdfile must be in the directory you're running the script from, example cmdfile:

(hello)
echo Hello

---

python -m cmdfile check temp is the equivalent of this:

import cmdfile

cmdfile.run("check", filename="temp")

---

Variables

You can declare variables in the cmdfile using:

# You can declare variables outside of tables
# some_variable = "I'm not in any table!"

(table)
variable = "some text"

echo {{variable}}

some text

You can also declare variables through code like this:

import cmdfile

cmdfile.add_var("variable", "some text")
cmdfile.run("table")

And then this will also output some text:

(table)
echo {{variable}}

---

Changing the shell

You can change what shell to use by changing the shell variable:

shell = "powershell.exe -c"

[main]
echo 'Hello' # Executes "powershell.exe -c echo 'Hello'"

---

Requirements

Requirements are tables that run before the main table, example:

[main] a_requirement another_requirement
# This will call a_requirement, another_requirement and main, respectively


[a_requirement]
# ...

[another_requirement]
# ...

---

1.2.2 Bugfix

• Fixed cmdfile giving error when directly calling without args

Changelog for 1.2.0

• Added "requirements", this calls other tables before running the current table, example:

[main] a_requirement another_requirement
# This will call a_requirement, another_requirement and main, respectively


[a_requirement]
# ...

[another_requirement]
# ...

• You can now select the shell to use to run commands like this:

shell = "powershell.exe -c"

[main]
echo 'Hello' # Executes "powershell.exe -c echo 'Hello'"

• Changed variable usage from {_varname_} to {{varname}}
