Running multiple Unix commands via pipe operator using tSystem

Anonymous — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 13:07:46 GMT

Hi,
I'm trying to automate file-encryption using gpg encryption (password being passed automatically).
On Unix, the command to do so is:
(a) echo <password> | gpg --batch -q --passphrase-fd 0 --symmetric --armor -c <file-to-encrypt>
OR, if the password is in a file (say, passFile.txt), then:
(b) cat passFile.txt | gpg --batch -q --passphrase-fd 0 --symmetric --armor -c <file-to-encrypt>
I'm using tSystem component to call these commands.
So on Windows I'm using "cmd /c echo qwerty | gpg --batch -q --passphrase-fd 0 --symmetric --armor -c BB1.txt" which is working perfectly fine.
However, on Unix I've tries several ways but unable to get the desired result.
I've tried giving following in the tSystem:
(a) "echo qwerty | gpg --batch -q --passphrase-fd 0 --symmetric --armor -c BB1.txt"
--------------------
Result: It simply prints out the foll. on the console without doing anything:
qwerty | gpg --batch -q --passphrase-fd 0 --symmetric --armor -c BB1.txt

(b) "cat passFile.txt | gpg --batch -q --passphrase-fd 0 --symmetric --armor -c <file-to-encrypt>"
-------------------------
Result:
qwerty
cat: cannot open |
cat: cannot open gpg
cat: cannot open --batch
cat: cannot open -q
cat: cannot open --passphrase-fd
cat: cannot open 0
cat: cannot open --symmetric
cat: cannot open --armor
cat: cannot open -c
<file-contents are displayed>

I've been trying hard to figure out other ways by providing "exec" and by enclosing the command within `, but none of them have worked.
Can someone please advise?
Regards
Kshitij

Create a simple and single script file, with all the command that you want to execute, and then invoke it in tsystem.
tsystem is not a shell enviroment, it just spawn a process.
