- Changed command line arguments to proper options
- Added hashing of files as well as strings
md5 [option] [string [string [...]]]
- h Print this help file
- v Print version info
- f String(s) is/are files
- p Use plain hash
- b Use base64 hash
- x Use HEX hash (default)
This is the input to be MD5 encoded. This can be a single string, a space seperated list of strings, a file name or space separated list of file names.
- Digest-MD5-File
Put file in /usr/bin and chmod 755
May have to add the perl package "Digest-MD5-File" depending on distro and standard perl install.
Ready to use.
This may sound funny but install perl first. Windows does not come with perl installed as standard.
You can get perl by going to https://www.perl.org/get.html
Add the perl package "Digest-MD5-File" (ppm install Digest-MD5-File for ActiveState Perl)
Remove the first line of the script !#/usr/bin/perl
Put file in a standard location and add that location to the PATH variable.
You may have to add the ".pl" extention to the PATHEXT variable.
Ready to use.
Unknown help would be appreciated
