truncate [string]
The filename to read
Native command already exists.
This may sound funny but install perl first. Windows does not come with perl installed as standard.
You can get perl by going to https://www.perl.org/get.html
Put file in a standard location and add that location to the PATH variable.
You may have to add the ".pl" extention to the PATHEXT variable.
Ready to use.
Move into '/usr/bin' and remove ext
$ cp truncate.pl /usr/bin/truncate
Change permissions and owner
$ chmod 755 /usr/bin/truncate
$ sudo chown root:wheel /usr/bin/truncate
Ready to use.
