Describe the FR

If you create a "script" for pfsshell and attempt to pipe it in, the prompt is the only thing shown on screen and it doesn't really let the user know what's happening or how much of the script has executed.

device /dev/sdc
mount __common
put file.ext
umount
exit

cat script.txt | pfsshell

You can use tee to also print commands to console

You can use tee to also print commands to console

At least on Windows, that most definitely does not work. type [file] | busybox tee CON | pfsshell just prints out all of the text, ignoring whether pfsshell tried to read the line yet or not.

Due to how buffering works it will read as much as possible from the input

@zulc22 it looks like that even tee is not necessary:

maybe @GDX-X can provide more piping examples

echo device !@hdl_path! > "%~dp0TMP\pfs-prt.txt"
echo ls -l >> "%~dp0TMP\pfs-prt.txt"
echo exit >> "%~dp0TMP\pfs-prt.txt"
type "%~dp0TMP\pfs-prt.txt" | "%~dp0BAT\pfsshell" 2>&1 | "%~dp0BAT\busybox" tee > "%~dp0TMP\pfs-prt.log"

[GDX-X]

@zulc22 I couldn't find how to print the piped commands as they are executed in the console.

if you want to understand how pfsshell works, use it do your commands one by one directly then redo the shema in echo that you will put in a txt.

like in the example that AKuHAK showed you
