How to escape text for adb shell input
11 August 2016Just a tiny script containing one sed command to escape input suitable
for use with adb shell input text command.
#!/bin/sh
sed 's/\([`\(\)<>|;&\*\\~"'"'"'\$]\)/\\\1/g' <&0Make it exectuable then move it somewhere on your path :)
Makes it possible to enter complex passwords for example. Example in combination with pass:
adb shell input text $(pass amazon | adb-escape-text)
