Requirement

Java 8

Getting Start

1. First, you must prepare your Connection String for your storage account. The format is

   DefaultEndpointsProtocol=[http|https];AccountName=myAccountName;AccountKey=myAccountKey

2. Download from release.

3. Run the commands.

AzureCat

Usage

1. Print a resource

   azurecat https://<account-name>.blob.core.windows.net/<container-name>/<blob-path>

2. Concatenate and print the resources with prefix

   azurecat --prefix https://<account-name>.blob.core.windows.net/<container-name>/<blob-prefix>

3. Concatenate and print the resources with prefix and the resource should match the postfix

   azurecat --prefix --postfix csv https://<account-name>.blob.core.windows.net/<container-name>/<blob-prefix>

4. Decode the resource by gzip compression format.

   azurecat -z --prefix --postfix gz https://<account-name>.blob.core.windows.net/<container-name>/<blob-prefix>

2. Select some columns

   azuretbl2json -C "column1,column2" https://<account-name>.table.core.windows.net/<table-name>

3. Apply filter

   azuretbl2json -f "(PartitionKey eq 'pk1' and RowKey eq 'rk1')" https://<account-name>.table.core.windows.net/<table-name>

The full help for azuretbl2json

usage: azuretbl2json [-c <connection-string>] <table-url>
 -c <arg>             The connection string
 -C <arg>             The selected columns

Configuration File

You can put your connection strings at ~/.azure/storagekeys line by line

Here is the example.

DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=myAccountName1;AccountKey=myAccountKey1
DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=myAccountName2;AccountKey=myAccountKey2

then, you can use the resource directly without connection string specified.

echo 'helloworld' | azurecat https://<account-name>.blob.core.windows.net/<container-name>/<blob-path>
