The most exact answer for this would be: "Not exactly".

I know what edlin is, I used it myself with DOS 3.2 when I got
it with my old XT.

The thing is, that latly i'm encountering situations when I could
really use an automatic text editing tool. Now, as I remember,
in Linux and some UNIX systems, there is a tool that is based
on the same interface as edlin, that can also accept "scripts" that
can tell it what to do and how to edit a certain file automaticly.
I think it was Ed, but i'm not sure.

So I was hoping that Edlin can accept scripts as well.. sounds like
it cant. Is there any small editing tool like edlin, that can do
such a function? (the idea is to include this utility in a batch
file, or to be called up by another program as a small external
utility).
