I want to apply a batch file "foo" to a text file "bar".
The commands in foo are of the form:
:% s/elephant/\\idx{&}/g
(I can delete the : if that helps.)
So given these facts what does the command line for vim or ex
look like? In particular I need to know how to get both foo and
bar into the command. This is to build an index for TeX.
Linux of course.
In addition to Tim's reply, this sounds like a case for running Vim "in
batch mode" if you want to do it at the command prompt without the need
for an interactive Vim editor:
vim -es -S foo bar
This assumes that your "batch file" ends with a quit command (for
instance :x), otherwise you can add that at the command-line:
vim -es -S foo -cx bar
The : at the start of each line may be omitted, but you don't have to.
See
:help -e
:help -s-ex
:help -S
:help -c
If you have a symlink named "ex" which redirects to Vim, then the -e
switch can be omitted:
ex -s -S foo -cx bar
Best regards,
Tony.
