The above code indent the file from command line. But the following
one can not do so.
vim -E file <<EOF
:normal gg=G
:x
EOF
It seems that I should be able to pass command from stdin. I'm not
sure why it is not working. Could anybody let me know?
Thanks,
Peng
If on Linux, try (untested)
vim -S '/dev/stdin' file <<EOF
normal gg=G
x
EOF
Or you could (partly) resolve the /dev/stdin softlink, and use
'/dev/fd/0' or '/proc/self/fd/0' instead as the path to the file to be
sourced. Further resolution is not possible as you don't know Vim's PID.
On Windows, all this will probably not work, though.
Best regards,
Tony.
