Piped arguments don't work on Windows

[marcorivm]

I have tried this on both cmd and Powershell

marco@DESKTOP D:\experiments\meow-cli
$ node foo test
[ 'test' ]

marco@DESKTOP D:\experiments\meow-cli
$ echo "test" | node foo
[]

This is the sample meow code I used, from the docs with the last line changed to log the cli input

#!/usr/bin/env node
'use strict';
const meow = require('meow');

const cli = meow(`
    Usage
      $ foo <input>

    Options
      --rainbow, -r  Include a rainbow

    Examples
      $ foo unicorns --rainbow
      🌈 unicorns 🌈
`, {
    flags: {
        rainbow: {
            type: 'boolean',
            alias: 'r'
        }
    }
});
console.log(cli.input)

The expected behaviour would be recognizing the piped arguments like normal arguments.

I found this blog post https://www.exratione.com/2015/12/accepting-input-via-stdin-and-arguments-in-a-command-line-node-js-script/ with sample code which worked for me to get piped input parsed correctly on windows

@marcorivm You should use get-stdin instead. You could refer to here.
