Describe the bug

Note: I am using WSL on Windows.

Reference contract: 0x9641d764fc13c8B624c04430C7356C1C7C8102e2, on BSC

In the given contract, I wanted to call a function named "multiSend(bytes)", with the bytes being a concatenated set of 454 transactions. Mentioned the data and calldata to be verified below

calldata.txt
data.txt

Before signing the transaction, i wanted to make sure the calldata is right, so i simply ran the command
cast calldata "multiSend(bytes)" <big parameter>, and the command reverted with message: bash: /home/advay/.foundry/bin/cast: Argument list too long

I couldn't find an alternative/workaround to this, so i had to sign the transaction without properly verifying calldata.
Let me know if there is a solution to this. Thanks

Possible improvement: Enable cast calldata (or any such commands) to take a file as input argument.
