To manually read and edit a file on the standard output:
#script begins ... vi $file # where file is the file name you want to # work on ... #script ends
To programmatically read and edit a file, e.g. to change harsh words into something else. In this example, lets consider "bad" is a harsh one and lets change any occurance of "bad" in the file (off course a text file) into "bxx":
# scripts begins # this script expects a file name as an # argument ... if [ -f $1 ] then cat $1 | sed 's/ bad / bxx /g' > $1.new fi ... # scripts end
my humble suggestion does not necessarily meet your requirement.
