mike@shiner $ cat test_regex.txt
this is
a test
We can run the following command to replace 'this' with 'there'.
mike@shiner $ vim test_regex.txt -c '%s/this/there/' -c 'wq' mike@shiner $ cat test_regex.txt there is a test
The -c arguments are executed sequentially. They're equivalent to typing : and then the contents of the argument. In the example above, we do a search/replace and then write/quit the file. If the "-c 'wq'" is omitted, then vim will remain open. Now back to what I was trying to do originally.
mike@shiner $ vim test_regex.txt -c '%s/there\_.*a/regex' -c 'wq' mike@shiner $ cat test_regex.txt regex test
The \_ tells vim that the . will include the new line character. Hence, the expression states that we want to match 'there' and 'a' and anything between these characters. This match is replaced with 'regex'.
You can also do multiple, pipe-separated commands in one -c:
ReplyDeletevim test_regex.txt -c '%s/this/there/|wq'
Which basically is just taking advantage of being able to do the same thing in vim.
Wow....that is soo cool!!! I didn't know you could do that. Thanks for the info.
