Applying batch file to a text file.

I want to apply a batch file "foo" to a text file "bar".
The commands in foo are of the form:

:% s/elephant/\\idx{&}/g

(I can delete the : if that helps.)

So given these facts what does the command line for vim or ex
look like? In particular I need to know how to get both foo and
bar into the command. This is to build an index for TeX.

Linux of course.
