Re: Running vim in batch mode in background

Ben,

Thank you for responding.

I'm not sure how to read your example. Can you tell me what each part does please?

What I have been doing is 1) make a list of filenames and then 2) insert a vim command invoking a macro in front of each filename and then running the resulting file as a script. This single threads vi. Attempting to add an ampersand at the end of each line merely produces an error message and a stopped vi process.

I have made a script to gather filenames and run this command "vim -n $file -c " " -s /splitons.vim &" with a pause every 7 commands (lucky 7) to let the system catch up. It's working great now.

Can I ask for your comments on my solution please?

Regards,

George...

How are you running the script?

I'd suggest something like:

vim -c "argdo source myscript.vim | update" *.file
