Hello,I am using VIM (version 7.1) on a SUN (UNIX) machine. The following command works when I type it interactively but fails when I keep it in a script and use vim -s option. The command is: :g/^{\s*$/normal ^maf{%mb:'a,'bs/,//g/^M [Please note that the ^M is actually Cntrl-M or "Enter" key which I got by typing Cntrl-V<Return>] The above command typed interactively works perfectly. All the command is trying to do is delete all the commas within all the "{}" blocks of a given file. Other commas have to be kept. Just commas with in the "{}" blocks need to be deleted. When I store the above command in a script file, and use vim -s<script> <datafile> command, it does not do anything. It just searches for the grepped pattern. That is all. Also, is there any way to run VIM scripts in a non-interactive or batch mode. Please let me know. Thanks, Uday K2
In addition to :help -S which corresponds to what Ben said, see also :help -s-ex which discusses the -es (or -e -s) switch to start Vim in batch mode.
