Hello,
Typed up this one liner function for getting a files actual windows
details/properties information. I needed a tertiary way to compare
executable/drivers, so a version number from windows seemed like a viable
option. Hopefully someone will find this handy, seeing as i feel so guilty for
not contributing more to such a wonderful project like Cygwin.
#get file details from windows via wmic wmi formatted call condensed
finfo() { [[ -f "$(cygpath "$@")" ]] || { echo "bad-file";return 1;}; echo
"$(wmic datafile where name=\""$(echo "$(cygpath -wa "$@")"|sed
's/\\/\\\\/g')"\" get /value)"|sed 's/\r//g;s/^M$//;/^$/d'|awk -F"=" '{print
$1"=""\033[1m"$2"\033[0m"}';}
ex:
$ finfo notepad.exe
$ finfo "C:\windows\system32\notepad.exe"
$ finfo /cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/notepad.exe
$ finfo "/cygdrive/c/Program Files/notepad.exe"
$ finfo ../notepad.exe
There is no doubt the brilliant people here could have done a better job, but
like i said, i just needed to contribute something. And if you are a gamer you
