Overview

This library enables to invoke shell scripts based on their content.
While std::process::Command works great to execute standalone command, you need more manual code to take a script text and execute it.
For this purpose, this library was created.

Usage

Simply include the library and invoke the run/spawn function with the script text and run options:

```rust extern crate run_script;

use run_script::ScriptOptions;

fn main() { let options = ScriptOptions::new();

let args = vec![];

// run the script and get the script execution output
let (code, output, error) = run_script::run(
    r#"
    echo "Directory Info:"
    dir
    "#,
    &args,
    &options
).unwrap();

println!("Exit Code: {}", code);
println!("Output: {}", output);
println!("Error: {}", error);

// run the script and get a handle to the running child process
let child = run_script::spawn(
    r#"
    echo "Directory Info:"
    dir
    "#,
    &args,
    &options
).unwrap();

let spawn_output = child.wait_with_output().unwrap();

println!("Success: {}", &spawn_output.status.success());

} ```

The library also provides the run_script! and spawn_script! macros for simpler usage.

```rust

[macro_use]

extern crate run_script;

use run_script::ScriptOptions;

fn main() { // simple call to run script with only the script text let (code, output, error) = run_script!( r#" echo "Test" exit 0 "# ).unwrap();

// run script invoked with the script text and options
let options = ScriptOptions::new();
let (code, output, error) = run_script!(
    r#"
    echo "Test"
    exit 0
    "#,
    &options
).unwrap();

// run script invoked with all arguments
let options = ScriptOptions::new();
let (code, output, error) = run_script!(
    r#"
    echo "Test"
    exit 0
    "#,
    &vec!["ARG1".to_string(), "ARG2".to_string()],
    &options
).unwrap();

// spawn_script! works the same as run_script! but returns the child process handle
let child = spawn_script!(
    r#"
    echo "Test"
    exit 0
    "#
).unwrap();

} ```

Installation
