Gus What?!

Ever wanted a command line version of acchash.exe that simply displays the fingerprint and copies it to the clipboard without any mouse clicks?

Here you go:

use Digest::SHA;
use Win32::Clipboard;
 
$file = shift;
 
if ( -e $file && -f $file )
{
   $hash = uc( Digest::SHA->new(256)->addfile($file, 'b')->hexdigest );
   print "Plugin Fingerprint for '$file' (copied to clipboard): $hash\n";
   Win32::Clipboard()->Set( $hash );
}
else
{
   print "Usage: gushash [plugin_file_to_hash]\n";
}

Save this as gushash.pl in a location where your command shell can find it.

You will need Perl and the Digest-SHA package to use this script. The latter can be obtained through the ppm (Perl Package Manager) tool that is installed with Perl.

I’m always making little tools like this in Perl and Python to help me automate stuff.

This is here in case someone finds it useful…
