I thought the point of using vim instead of something more appropriate 
for scripting was that you already knew how to use it.  Why not do:
vim -W script testfile
and go through the motions you know (which can include 1G to go to the 
1st line and G to go to the last).
Then run
vim -s script realfile
to do the same actions again.
