Help translating from bash?

[heintze]

I have some bash things I need to translate into either powershell or cmd.exe. Can you tell me how to translate

(1) myProgramThatReadsFromStdIn <<EOF
data read by program
last line of data read by by program from standard input
EOF
anotherCommand.exe

(2) myProgram >"myProgram_`date`.log"

This will give me a unique log file everytime I run myProgram.exe.

(3) export Result="`perl xyz.pl`"
How can I get the results of a program so I can use it in a .bat or .cmd file?

Thanks,
siegfried

Try googling Bash on Windows.. there are a few packages out there that can help you run your scripts natively without translating to Powershell or WSH

I'm not sure I understand your comment. I'm already running gnu/cygwin bash on windows and it works great (except it does not meet my clients requirements). I need to translate the bash scripts to powershell, cmd.exe or WSH.

My client is microsoft and they are kinda partial to their software, even if cygwin/gnu is free.

Thanks,
