Let's push it one step further. Rather than
someprogram | vim | sed 's/foo/bar' > out.txt
I'd use
someprogram > out.txt
vim -es -c '%s/foo/bar/g' -cq out.txt
(using Vim in batch mode). Well, I /think/ stat's what that sed command
does but I know Vim better than sed so I'm not sure. I guess I use Vim
where most people use sed, because I know how to use it, and like its
docs better.
See
:help -e
:help -s-ex
:help -c
:help :s
:help :saveas
:help :q
:help -file
For giving additional commands to Vim, see also
:help -S
Best regards,
Tony.
