Dear all, I made a 40-line script that lets you call Vim commands for Unix pipeline filtering, like sed or awk: https://github.com/MilesCranmer/vim-stream.
As an example, > cat file.txt | vims -l 'f|d$' will filter the output of "cat file.txt" by running the Vim command ‘f|d$’ on each line to delete everything after "|". The repo gives the other options. I’m eager to hear: are you potentially interested in integrating these modes into Vim itself? The code looks tiny but pulls a lot of weight; I use "vim-stream" for batch text processing in nearly every script I write. I no longer spend time hunting for awk/sed commands, since Vim is ingrained in my fingers. I'm interested to hear your thoughts.
