I don't think I would have concluded that ed was designed for scripting per say. I do think it's very conducive to it. I also think that ex (vi(m)'s command mode is similar. Vim also has an extensive vimscript language that I see a LOT of very fancy things in. I also wonder if Visual Basic Scripts (.vbs) (macros) inside of the various Microsoft Office GUI apps might qualify here. I think that scripts are less often used in editors than they once were. -- Grant. . . . unix || die -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
