How are you finding that "-c does not do exactly the same thing"? I
just issued:
bash$ seq 20> test.txt
bash$ ex -c '10s/$/hello' -c '15>' -c 'wq' test.txt
The result in the file is the same, but when I launch the command I see
a kind of flash (like when something is opened and then closed and I have
not enough time to see it well).
Whereas with stdin, I do not see this flash, ex window is never opened
in this case. Everything is done entirely silently.
That's Vim painting itself on the screen. You can hide/prevent
that with
ex -c '%s/$/hello/' -c '15>' -c 'wq' test.txt > /dev/null
(pipe the redraw to /dev/null or use "NUL" if at a Win32 command
shell)
For such an example, I'd use a combination of :put with the
expression register, which takes a list:
:put=[var, 'line2', '.', 'that was a line with 1 period']
A remark about :put =list
I tried :put =[ 'str1', 'str2', '', 'str3', '' ]
the '' are here to insert empty lines.
The last one is not inserted.
I see the same results here (the first empty string is added, the
second/last one isn't) and I would call this a bug.
