I would like to execute a vi command as a bash command like:
vi +:1 "+1,$s/E/e/g" "+wq" test.TXT
But it does not work!
under vi, I would do:
vi test.TXT
:1
:1,$s/E/e/g
:wq
could you tell me what I am missing?
This is why you should always use single quotes (') instead of double quotes
(") unless there is some reason not to, such as _wanting_ to substitute a shell
variable into a string.
As an aside, is there a reason you want to use vi for this instead of something
like sed?
