vim tasks in shell script

[knzzz]

Hi Team,

Is it possible to do the basic vim edition tasks using the shell script

for eg:

%s/search/replace/g

is it possible to do the above example using shell script with editing it manually.

Regards
Kanna

To edit a file is not a "vim task". It is a "edit" task. There are many ways to edit files. Vim is only one of them. sed is an another.

Code: Select all

man sed
info sed

Yes, it is possible to edit files with a script.

You can also edit it with mc (Midnight Commander).
