file-command-qq is a simple quasiquoter for running system commands that take a filepath as an argument.

For instance

> :set -XOverloadedStrings
> import FileCommand
> import Filesystem.Path
> [s|echo $filename|] "/home/test/thing.txt"

will return

thing.txt
ExitSuccess

\path -> system $ "echo" ++ encodeString (filename path)

All "file parts" start with a '$'. The '$' can be escaped by preceding it with a ''

There are the following options for "file parts"
