Reverts #16271 Fixs #15913 Problem: Since #16271, `make_filter_cmd` uses `Start-Process` cmdlet to execute the user provided shell command for `:%!`. `Start-Process` requires the command to be split into the shell command and its arguments. This was implemented in #19268 by parsing (splitting the user-provided command at the first space) which didn't handle cases such as -- - commands with escaped space in their filepath - quoted commands with space in their filepath Solution: Use piping. The total shell command formats (excluding noise of unimportant parameters): 1. Before #16271 ```powershell pwsh -C "(shell_cmd) < tmp.in | 2>&1 Out-File -Encoding UTF8 <tmp.out>" # not how powershell commands work ``` 2. Since #16271 ```powershell pwsh -C "Start-Process shell_cmd -RedirectStandardInput <tmp.in> -RedirectStandardOutput <tmp.out>" # doesn't handle executable path with space in it # doesn't write error to <tmp.out> ``` 3. This PR ```powershell pwsh -C "& { Get-Content <tmp.in> | & 'path\with space\to\shell_cmd.exe' arg1 arg2 } 2>&1 | Out-File -Encoding UTF8 <tmp.out>" # also works with forward slash in the filepath # also works with double quotes around shell command ``` After this PR, the user can use the following formats: :%!c:\Program` Files\Git\usr\bin\sort.exe :%!'c:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\sort.exe' :%!"c:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\sort.exe" :%!"c:\Program` Files\Git\usr\bin\sort.exe" They can even chain different commands: :%!"c:\Program` Files\Git\usr\bin\sort.exe" | sort.exe -r But if they want to call a stringed executable path, they have to provide the Invoke-Command operator (&). In fact, the first stringed executable path also needs this & operator, but this PR adds that behind the scene. :%!"c:\Program` Files\Git\usr\bin\sort.exe" | sort.exe -r | & 'c:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\sort.exe' ## What this PR solves - Having to parse the user-provided bang ex-command (for splitting into shell cmd and its args). - Removes a lot of human-unreadable `#ifdef` blocks. - Accepting escaped spaces in executable path. - Accepting quoted string of executable path. - Redirects error and exception to tmp.out (exception for when `wrong_cmd.exe not found`) ## What this PR doesn't solve - Handling wrongly escaped path to executable, which the user may pass because of cmdline tab-completion. #18592 ## Edge cases - (Not handled) If the user themself provides the `&` sign (means `call this.exe` in powershell) - (Not handled) Use `-Encoding utf8` parameter for `Get-Content`? - (Handled) Doesn't write to tmp.out if shell command is not found. - fix: use anonymous function (`{wrong_cmd.exe}`). ## Changes other than `make_filter_cmd()` function - Encoding for piping to external executables.
