## Overview
While it is not really possible to take every shell script and automatically convert it to a windows batch file, this library provides a way to convert simple basic shell commands to windows batch commands.<br>
The original goal of this library is to provide users of [cargo-make](https://sagiegurari.github.io/cargo-make/) a way to write simple tasks with shell scripts without duplicating their code for each platform.

## Usage
Simply include the library and invoke the convert function as follows:
```rust
extern crate shell2batch;
fn main() {
let script = shell2batch::convert(
r#"
export FILE1=file1
export FILE2=file2
#this is some test code
cp ${FILE1} $FILE2
#another
mv file2 file3
export MY_DIR=directory
#flags are supported
rm -Rf ${MY_DIR}
unset MY_DIR
"#
);
assert_eq!(
script,
r#"
set FILE1=file1
set FILE2=file2
@REM this is some test code
xcopy %FILE1% %FILE2%
@REM another
move file2 file3
set MY_DIR=directory
@REM flags are supported
del /Q %MY_DIR%
set MY_DIR=
"#
);
println!("Script: {}", script);
}
```
