Re: How to quiet the message when filtering...

Yes! "sil" works well - in the simple case. Thanks for that.

Now, on to the next. Suppose we have another command like:

vim -c '...' -c '...' -c '...' and so on and so forth - a long series of commands that modify the text, then finally dump me into the editor. I want all of them silenced - and it to go directly into the editor with no pausing. Assume it is either impractical or impossible to put "sil" in front of every command.

Is there a some setting or other to turn on silent mode globally?

I have a line in a shell script like:

vim -c '%!someFilter' someFile

The idea is to run the contents of someFile through someFilter before doing further editing.

It works fine, except for one thing.  After the filter runs, but before displaying the file onscreen, it displays a message at the bottom of the screen saying something like "60 lines filtered.  Press any key to continue", after which it then clears the screen and displays the file for normal editing.

There is no need for that message and pause.  I would like it to go directly into the vi editing mode.  Is there any way to do that?
