A new way to use the Batch

BatchX includes a bunch of Batch plugins for your PC. These scripts can add some features to your normal use of the computer and simplify it. You can even use them in your Batch files. These plugins are hosted on this repository, and they can be downloaded by the integrated shell, written in Batch too, which allows you to dowload and manage the plugins you want. The plugins are open-source, so you can modify them at your convenience.

Guide

This is how to use the shell:

# Usage

$ batchx [command] [input]

# Shell commands

-inst <name>, --i <name>          With this command you can download the plugin called "name".
e.g. batchx --i ascii2unicode     Replace "name" with the plugin you want to download.

-del <name>, --d <name>           Delete the "name" plugin from the PC. Don't worry: you will be able to download it again.
e.g. batchx --d ascii2unicode     Replace "name" with the plugin you want to download.

-upd, --u                         Install the latest & updated version of the shell. Use this command whenever you think
                                  there's a new update available. You can check our repository to stay updated.
                                  
-plg, --p                         Display the list of the already installed BatchX plugins. 

-help, --h, /?                    Show the help message.
