edmunge

Good news everybody! You can finally use your favorite inscrutable text editor as a scripting language!

edmunge is a recursive acronym that stands for Edmunge Mashes Until No Good, with Ed.

Briefly, edmunge lets you destructively edit text files using scripts filled with ed commands. What could go wrong?

For example:

```shell $ cat document My sweet document! $ cat script.ed

!/usr/bin/env edmunge

,s/!/?/ w $ ./script.ed document 19 19 $ cat document My sweet document? ```

installation

shell $ cargo install edmunge

inspiration

edmunge was inspired by Julia Evan's blog post on batch-editing files with ed and developed thanks to a generous grant from the RAND Corporation.

To improve your ed skills, I recommend the delightful Ed Mastery by Michael W. Lucas.
