[Feature request | inicomp] Passing FILE1 and FILE2 via pipe
The goal would be to support a command like the following
c:>type FILE1.REG FILE2.REG | inicomp -f
Combined with https://github.com/JFLarvoire/SysToolsLib/issues/39, this will provide even more possibilities.
This is not possible, as there is no way to know where file 1 ends and file 2 begins.
What could be done is to pipe a single file on stdin, and use the special argument "-" to refer to that stream instead of a file name on the command line. Still I don't see a practical use case where this would be useful. (This makes sense only if .ini files themselves are piped-out by other commands.)
Indeed, I forgot to add a delimiter!
The goal would be to ingest into inicomp the result of a pre-processing performed both on FILE1 and FILE2 via for each a pipe
FILE1.ini | compact (1 + 2 =>)| inicomp > result.txt FILE2.ini | compact
Is there a standard and/or predefined delimiter for this purpose?
We can contextualize this as being related to graphics-based processing more akin to https://docs.pipewire.org/ for audio/video than pipe support in the OS.
Are there any graph-based processing tools/frameworks for file management or could Pipewire be used with text files as well?
