    1.3. ex Command-Line Options While most people know ex commands only by their use within vi, the editor exists also as a separate program and can be invoked from the shell (for instance, to edit files as part of a script). Within ex, you can enter the vi or visual command to start vi. Similarly, within vi, you can enter Q to quit the vi editor and enter ex. docstore.mik.ua/orelly/linux/lnut/ch11_03.htm

    ex command in Linux with examples
    • Last Updated : 15 May, 2019

    ex(stands for extended) is a text editor in Linux which is also termed as the line editor mode of the vi editor. This editor simply provided some editing commands which has greater mobility. With the help of this editor, a user can easily move between files. Also, he/she has a lot of ways to transfer the text from one file to another. A user can quickly edit blocks of text larger than a single screen and also can make substitutions throughout a file for a given pattern by using the global replacement.

    Syntax:

    % ex [filename] 
    

    Note: The prompt for the ex command is the ‘:’ character.

    Important ex Editor Commands:

    1. File Manipulation: There are two ways to edit a file, either we can use an old file or we can create a new file.
      • a) Using an old file

        Syntax:



        % ex oldfile
        

        Example:

      • b) Inserting a new file

        Syntax:

        % ex newfile 
        

        Output:

    2. p Command : This is the one of the most basic command, p for print (to the screen). Suppose if you will type 1p at the prompt, then you will notice the first line of the file:

      Syntax:

      linenumber p
      

      Example:

      • To print more than one line: You can leave off the p because a line number by itself is equivalent to a print command for that line. Here, you can put a range of line numbers (e.g 1, 3) means the two numbers separated which are by commas. Here, the space are optional.

        Syntax:


         

        Starting LineNumber, Ending LineNumber
        

        Example:

    3. Substitute Command : Allows you to substitute one word for another.

      Syntax:

      :LineNumber s/CurrentWord/NewWord/
      

      Example:

    4. Adding Text : To enter text in a new file we use a (short for append) command and the command i is used to inserting the text before the current line.

      Syntax:

      For Append
      
      :a
      This is the text
       
      
      For inserting text before the current line.
      
      :i
      This is the text
      
      

      Example:

    5. w Command : The command w (short for ‘write’) is used to save your data.

      Syntax:

      w [filename]
      

      Example:

    6. d Command : This is used to delete the lines.

      Syntax:

      [line_range] d
      

      Example:

      Note: If no line number is given the current line will be deleted. It is possible to give a range of lines. For example 1, $d will delete the entire file.

    7. To search a string: Searches are carried out by including the search string in slashes (‘/’):

      Note: The special characters ‘^’ and ‘$’ can be used to assist the search. For example /^This/ will find a line beginning and ‘This’/file$/ will find a line ending in ‘file’

      Syntax:

      /string/
      

      Example:

    8. Reverse Searches: Generally, these are executed in question marks (‘?’) by including the search string. The search will start at the current line and search backward through the file.

      Syntax:

      ?string?
      

      Example:

    9. Quit Command: The command q (short for ‘quit’) is used to quit the editor.

      Syntax:

      quit! or q!
